What could be the cause?

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\user\esp-idf\tools\idf_tools.py", line 1675, in main(sys.argv[1:]) File "C:\Users\user\esp-idf\tools\idf_tools.py", line 1671, in main action_func(args) File "C:\Users\user\esp-idf\tools\idf_tools.py", line 1323, in action_install tool_obj.install(tool_version) File "C:\Users\user\esp-idf\tools\idf_tools.py", line 723, in install strip_container_dirs(dest_dir, self._current_options.strip_container_dirs) File "C:\Users\user\esp-idf\tools\idf_tools.py", line 389, in strip_container_dirs rename_with_retry(path, tmp_path) File "C:\Users\user\esp-idf\tools\idf_tools.py", line 375, in rename_with_retry os.rename(path_from, path_to) PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied: 'C:\Users\user\.espressif\tools\cmake\3.16.4' -> 'C:\Users\user\.espressif\tools\cmake\3.16.4.tmp'

Thank you @urikan1

The problem might be caused by antivirus installed on the system. Which antivirus is installed on the system? You can check also the second screen of installer.

Suggested workaround: Some antiviruses allows to disable scanning for small period of time. Disable the antivirus and perform the installation.

The problem is caused by renaming cmake package from cmake.tmp directory. The renaming fails, because the antivirus is scanning the directory. This was noticed in the past with Comodo antivirus #18 .

@urikan1 Please try one of new Offline installers. They do not move cmake, so the problem should not occur. https://github.com/espressif/idf-installer#single-esp-idf-branch-offline-installer
