Successful SDK 2.0 64-bit Installation on Windows 8 64-bit

Successful SDK 2.0 64-bit Installation on Windows 8 64-bit

BY 27 Apr 2013 SDK & IDE

 

Hi
I’d like to share my experience of Installing Tizen SDK 2.0  on Windows 8 64-bit. The SDK installation crashes at the package uncompression time on WIndows 8 64-bit.
After spending sometime and learning from other developers’ tips, I successfully install the 64-bit SDK on Windows 8 64-bit and have the Tizen emulator runs with both hardware virtualization and GPU acceleration, so there is no need to install 32-bit on Windows 8 64-bit.
 
Thanks Lars Kinnunen, who post how to start InstalManager by Java command in his blog (https://www.unetti.com/blog/installing-tizen-sdk-on-windows-8-64-bit/).
Hope it will help.
 
Preparation before Installation:
=================================
1) Go to Intel ARK (http://ark.intel.com/) to check if your processor support Intel VT-x
 
2) Enter computer BIOS setting, make sure the following two settings are enabled:
– Intel Virtualisation Technology VT-x
– Intel Execute Disable Bit
   Most of BIOS setting have them set to enabled by default.
 
 
3) Go to Windows 8’s “Control Panel \ Programs and Features”, then in “Turn Windows Features on or off”,
   Uncheck (disable) Microsoft Hyper-V, restart computer is needed.
   
   Microsoft Hyper-V by default is not enabled. It is needed for Windows Phone 8 emulator, but has conflict
   with Intel hardware virtualization. So if you need to run both Windows Phone 8 emulator and Tizen emulator,
   you have to switch Hyper-v on and off.
 
4) Download the latest Intel® Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager (HAXM) and install it.
   Tizen SDK image contains a HAXM installation, but somehow the installation may not succeed. So it is good
   idea to install a latest version of HAXM in advance.
 
5) Check if Java SE SDK 64-bit
 
Manually install the Tizen SDK on Windows 8 64-bit
===================================================
1) Download and install free software 7-Zip, which is needed to unpack Tizen SDK installer exe file.
 
2) Unpack the Tizen SDK installer exe file “tizen-sdk-2.0-windows64.exe” by 7-Zip (right-click).
   Following files are extracted from the exe file:
installmanager.conf, InstallManager.jar, InstManager.exe
 
3) Manually start the InstallManager by java command
javaw -jar InstallManager.jar
 
4) Once instllation finished, start Emulator manager to create device, make sure both “HW Virtualization” and 
  “GPU” are enabled, otherwise the emulator run extremely slow.
 
 
5) After installation, check if the following folders are missing or contains nothing:
C:\tizen-sdk\tools\i386-linux-gnueabi-gcc-4.5
C:\tizen-sdk\tools\i386-linux-gnueabi-gdb-7.2
C:\tizen-sdk\tools\llvm-3.1
 
In my case, these three folders are either missing or empty, this makw building failed.
Prepare another Windows 7 64-bit computer then have a good installation of 64-bit SDK 2.0.
Manually copy above three directories into your Windows 8 computer.
 
6) Manually making the IDE and emulator shortcut
The IDE shortcut generated by the installer does not work. You need to manually create your own:
Launch Tizen IDE – use C:\tizen-sdk\ide\launcher.exe
Start Emulator Manager – C:\tizen-sdk\tools\emulator\bin\emulator-manager.exe
