Unable to update KDS from 3.0.0 to 3.1.0

[gorakk]

When attempting to install Kinetis Design Studio 3.1.0 the installer says that the operation cannot be completed and gives these details:

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.

  Software currently installed: GNU ARM C/C++ J-Link Debugging 3.2.1.201508190739 (ilg.gnuarmeclipse.debug.gdbjtag.jlink.feature.group 3.2.1.201508190739)

  Missing requirement: GNU ARM C/C++ J-Link Debugging 3.2.1.201508190739 (ilg.gnuarmeclipse.debug.gdbjtag.jlink.feature.group 3.2.1.201508190739) requires 'ilg.gnuarmeclipse.debug.gdbjtag [2.2.1.201508190739]' but it could not be found

Does anyone know of a way to fix this?

I have the same problem but with a different error message. This error is for Windows 7 install and update. I can update correctly 3.0 -> 3.1 under Linux.

An error occurred while uninstalling

session context was:(profile=DefaultProfile, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Uninstall, operand=[R]com.somniumtech.kds.executable.win32.win32.x86 3.0.0 --> null, action=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.touchpoint.natives.actions.CleanupzipAction).

Backup of file D:\nxp\KDS_3.0.0\eclipse\kinetis-design-studio.exe failed.

File that was copied to backup could not be deleted: D:\nxp\KDS_3.0.0\eclipse\kinetis-design-studio.exe

Hi michals,

could it that you had another instance of KDS running? Make sure there is only one KDS running while you do the update.

I hope this helps,

Hi Allen,

Somehow the dependencies are not properly resolved. Could you try with these settings:

Additionally, you might update the GNU ARM Eclipse plugins. Below is what I have (after updating to 3.1.0):

Hi Erich,

Thanks for looking into this!

I tried the first suggestion and there was no change - still got the same error.

After updating the GNU ARM Eclipse plugins - attempting to install the 3.1.0 update gave this error:

An error occurred while collecting items to be installed

session context was:(profile=DefaultProfile, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Collect, operand=, action=).

Is the best course of action at this point just uninstalling / reinstalling KDS?

Hi Allen,

yes, maybe doing this from a clean install is the easiest way. You should not need to uninstall it first: rename your original installation folder and then install it again. I recommend that you do a zip archive of the 'clean' installation folder so you can go easily back to it if something fails.

I hope this helps,

Erich

Erich,

That did the trick - I renamed the KDS_3.0.0 directory and then ran the installer.  When the installer prompted for Modify, Repair, or Remove I selected Repair.

After the installation was complete I used the Install New Software function to first install the update to 3.1 and then installed updates for other items.

Thanks!

Allen
