When using the MCUXpresso Installer, or when manually installing the components required by VS Code or Zephyr, Administrator rights are usually required. If a user does not have Admin rights, or if Admin rights are restricted, it may cause installation issues.
If installation issues occur in Windows, you may need to force installation as an Admin. Typically in Windows, you can right-click on the installer executable in Windows Explorer, and select "Run as Administrator". The MCUXpresso extension for VS Code can download and run the MCUXpresso Installer. Once downloaded, you can manually run the Installer with Admin rights in Windows. The Installer executable is typically downloaded to
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Programs\MCUXpressoInstaller\.cache\MCUXpressoInstaller.exe
If installing from CLI, running the command window as Admin can help avoid issues. This is usefule with Python when installing pip or other modules, or if installing chocolately.
