@ralphde Thank you for reporting the issue.

Please, can you check whether there is following file: C:\Windows\system32\xcopy.exe

[ralphde]

Yes, it does exist

Thank you for your response @ralphde . It seems that your environment variable Path was modified.

Please, check the environment variables in your system. Press the Windows Start logo and type environment - select Edit the system environment variables. Click Environment Variables... at the bottom of the System Properties Window. In section System variables find variable Path and it should contain C:\Windows\System32. If the path is missingm add it.

The result should look like:

You can test proper configuration by starting PowerShell and typing command xcopy /?. It should display help message to xcopy command.

No Sir, is and was set globally. Must have another cause!

@ralphde Thank you for checking the path.

Please, check whether you can run xcopy /? from the terminal.

The blocking of the command might be caused by Norton Security. Please, check whether antivirus is not running the installation in Sandboxed process. xcopy is standard command which should be available: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/xcopy Often antiviruses are causing problems like this.

I can run xcopy from any terminal but indeed I have Norton Antivirus

@ralphde Please, can you check environment variable PATHEXT for the value? It should have value like: .COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH;.MSC;.CPL

[georgik]

@ralphde Problem should be solved in https://github.com/espressif/idf-installer/releases/tag/online-2.17

• added detection of PATHEXT proble in SystemCheck page
• invoked xcopy.exe instead of plain xcopy
