Platformio-vscode-ide: PlatformIO-IDE Installation Issue, "OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:"

[DeonMarais64]

I get "OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory:" installing from either "Atom" or "Visual Studio Code".

Installing from Atom :
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/cygdrive/c/Users/Deon-Marais/AppData/Local/atom/app-1.20.1/C:\Users\Deon-Marais\.platformio\penv'

Installing from Visual Studio Code
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/cygdrive/e/MSVSCode/C:\Users\Deon-Marais\.platformio\penv'

Any guidance or assistance would be appreciated.

Hi,

Same problem, but I've found the solution (after 3h of fight).

On my side it's an installation bug due to python version when execution of virtualenv.tar.gz.

Inside the directory .platformio a good version of python.exe is present but during the installation if a path on another version of python is present then this one is used : if it's not a good version the installation could fails (for me because it was a GCC on Cygwin not MSC).

Open a console, launch python, if the version is not 2.17 MSC, then the bug is here.

Adds a path (at the begining of the path) on c:\users\youraccount.platformio\python27
then restart VSCode. It will be OK. See it if never done https://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm

So PlatformIO installer contains a bug : a call to the local python27\python should be done to avoid a wrong version.

Bye.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply, It turns out I had a similar issue, In my case it was GCC on MingW32.
After some fiddling around, I eventually installed a complete version of Python2.7 (also adding the location to Path environment variable) before trying to install PlatformIO-IDE. After this installation went ahead smoothly.
All the best.
