Can't create a project in Touchgfx designer for a development board

[MAnto.2]

I am trying to create a project in Touchgfx designer 4.24.1 for STM32F469I-DISCO board but I always get "combination of board and Blank UI failed". I also tried with other boards without success. I am using fresh installed windows 10. I also tried to uninstall and install back again Touchgfx. Bellow is my log file from appdata/roaming...

Hello,

Is that an error thrown by the TouchGFX designer?

What "Riverdi" is doing here? Are you sure you are starting with STM32F469I-DISCO board not with a Riverdi board?

2024-10-28 16:59:07,775 [11] ERROR TouchGFXPackages.Implementation.FileDownloader: Failed to download: https://cdn.riverdi.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/stm32-desc-7inch-1.png

[MAnto.2]

Yes this is an error thrown by Touchgfx Designer.

I definitely tried to create a project with  STM32F469I-DISCO board, without success. After that I also tried to create only simulator project with no board but also failed. Then I also tried with other boards but I don't remember trying Riverdi. 

[SofLit]

@GaetanGodart any thoughts?

Hello @MAnto.2 ,

Someone had a similar issue here : https://community.st.com/t5/stm32-mcus-touchgfx-and-gui/combination-of-stm-blank-ui-failed-can-any-one-help-please/td-p/199770

The solution for them was to close TouchGFX Designer, then open a web browser (Edge recommended) and then open again TouchGFX Designer.

Can you try that and tell me if that helps?

Regards,

[MAnto.2]

Hello @GaetanGodart,

I tried that without success. 

[MAnto.2]

Some more info (maybe it will help) @GaetanGodart   @SofLit 

When I press Create button it starts creating the project but fails at about 90% then Touchgfx crashes.

After that I tried to open the "partialy created" project but I got an error: Failed to load native Freetype library! could not open file. 

[MAnto.2 · Accepted solution]

Found the solution. I was missing VC++ similar to this post: https://community.st.com/t5/stm32-mcus-touchgfx-and-gui/touchgfx-crashes-on-project-creation/td-p/578159 

Best regards,
