Both CubeMX executable and App missing from Window Start but CubeMX available inside CubeIDE

[Ricko]

Hi,

I am installing VS Code with the STM32 extension. In the settings I need to provide a path to the MX executable. But it is not anywhere on the C drive (where everything else ST is installed).

I remember I installed it with/through CubeIDE, does it mean it is not an .EXE on the drive? And so perhaps I also need to install the CubeMX as standalone?

Thank you

CubeIDE does not contain CubeMX as executable. It is a "plugin", named "Device configuration tool". So yes, install the standalone CubeMX.
