Cannot Install Tizen Studio on Windows 10

I have Windows 10 Pro 64-bit installed my system that meets all requiremets required for intallation of Tizen Studio (Java JDK etc.) I have logged in with an account that have highest privilege and administrative privilege on both system and C: disk. I've downloaded latest GUI/IDE installer from Tizen Developers web site. When I try to install the studio it gives "Target directory is not valid" error for SDK Location which is "C:\tizen-studio". I've set it to my user's folder but it still gives same error for each and every folder on the system. Data location is set for C:\tizen-studio-data but there are no errors for that folder. What is the problem with installer? I also tried CLI installer and it gave same errors.

I have the exact same problem and it is effectively blocking me from developing any apps.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

The same issue on my Win10 x64 w Oracle JDK8 (w JDK9 even doesn't start). Unable to change location as well in IDE/CLI installer. Unzipped in order to try change location, but it looks hardcoded somewhere.

This is a shame who prepared this install packages!

I've tried both installers on a Windows 8.1 x64 machine, if the issue is specific to Windows 10. But no, the same issue continues on Windows 8.1 machine. Both machines I have, Oracle JDK 8.0_144 installed.

So, I came up with a workaround. 

See my solution at stackoverflow.

Good luck!

Thanks for your answer but same problem still continues for me.

Have you tried clicking "continue"? For me it showed the error, however, I was able to continue. 

You might as well try to change to the %Appdata%\Local Path.

Additionally, you need to write the canonical path, i.e. without the %appdata%

I've entered as you stated on Stackoverflow C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Samsung\tizen-studio. I've also tried the Local. Both didn't work, I tried to click continue but it shows an messagebox about the "Path is invalid" and doesn't continue.

In that case I have no clue, as well. Sorry!

Installed Tizen-Studio 2.0 on Windows 10 x64 bit Successfully, didn't face similar complications.

One suggestion I would add: Uninstall existing Tizen-Studio/Tizen SDKs first (if there's any previous version on your PC) and delete 'tizen-studio' and 'tizen-studio-data' folder (keep backup if necessary).

 

If still the scenario remains same, You may report a bug on Tizen bug Tracker. Here's a guideline on how to report bugs. Please share the 'Reported bug' link here on this post to help the developers keep track.

I've solved the problem by without using Tizen Studio installer. I posted my solution to same Stackoverflow topic.

Could you please check whether the folder is blank or not? Actullay, "Target directory is not valid" message shows when the destination folder wasn't blank.
