S32DS for Arm v2.2 Installation is not Starting (Windows 11)

[nixrunner]

Hello;

NXP S32DS for Arm installation cannot start due to some reason. I am suspecting a Java or InstallAnywhere related issue. I have tried launching with LAXVM parameters,disabled windows firewall, cleared all temp files/browser cache etc. and tried again. Still did not work. Also tried older versions, still no luck. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Windows 11 version 22H2

Oracle Java 8 Update 361

I solved the problem. I used the solution proposed here: https://community.altair.com/community?id=community_question&sys_id=7dd600fa1b2bd0908017dc61ec4bcbc1

It seems like when I run the installer by right-clicking and running in administrator mode, it is still not meeting sufficient permissions. To resolve this, you must unlock the hidden "true administrator" account and install S32DS and FreeMaster using this account for all users.

To do this, follow these instructions(use method of your choice):

https://www.intowindows.com/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-in-windows-10/

This is the method I used:

1)- Open elevated command prompt (right-click, run as admin)

2)- Type:

net user administrator /active:yes

3)- Log out and switch to Administrator account.

4)-Install S32Ds and FreeMaster. Do not forget to create shortcuts for all users and update S32Ds after installing.

5)- Log out from Administrator account. Log in to main account.

6)-Open elevated command prompt and type:

net user administrator /active:no

7)- Congratulations! Now you can start programming.

Hope this helps someone in the future.

Hello @nixrunner,

Perhaps you could adjust the properties of the installer file and select Windows Compatibility Mode. Choose some earlier version, then try to install again.

We plan to add Windows11 support sometime in the future, but for now, we cannot guarantee it will work properly. It is not tested for this OS.

Best Regards,

Mike

I tried in Windows 7 and Windows 10. Still no avail.

Hello;
Which version of JRE should I be using? Also, I am suspecting some problems related to InstallAnywhere.
