System Workbench Installing Error

I installed JAVA8_131 and downloaded System Work Bench v2.0, but I couldn't install it.

After i run the install exe, a window showed but it said,

...

''The access denied''

''An error occured with the bundled Japa Runtime Enviroment''

''Trying to continue with some already installed...''

 ''The specified path can not be found.''

as like following screen shot.

I tried it as x86 and x64 both. My PC is Win8.1. I have made Android phone program on the PC, so I think Java is OK.

I have no idea where folder the installer looks to, and no idea what file I need.

Let me know what should I do.

Thank you.

The pre-processing embedded within the

System Workbench

 installer is probably failing because of Japanese (?) characters. The self-extracting archive does its job, e.g extract all stuff (JRE + installer) into a temporary folder, and successfully delegate the next step to the autorun.bat which fails with paths resolution.

Considering that Java is already available on your system, there are 2 different ways to solve this installation issue :

1. While the attached prompt is opened you should have the possibility to access to the temporary folder.Here it should be

   C:\Users\ag\Downloads\__sw4stm32_tmp\

   .Then, just try to execute

   install_sw4stm32_win_64bits.exe

   .
2. Download Neon.3 from Eclipse.org (

   https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-cc-developers/neon3

   ) and follow the Installation section of 

   http://www.openstm32.org/Installing+System+Workbench+for+STM32+from+Eclipse?structure=Documentation

Hope this help.

Julien,

Thank you for your reply. It works!

First, I copied the exe file just under the C:, and run it. But the folder __sw4stm32_tmp disappears after it appears for a moment. Then I copied all the files in the folder at the moment, and paste it. This time it doesn't disappear and I could run the installer.

I spent 3 days just install the environment, finally I can develop STM32.

Thank you very much!

Apologize for that waste of time.

The 2nd solution would probably be more efficient in term of SW installation time. But just note that in this case you have to install the ST-Link drivers (from

http://www.st.com/en/development-tools/st-link-v2.html

) manually if they are not already installed. 

Best regards.
