Failed generating project

[Bazmundi]

Generating project based on the blinky example in d:\OneDrive\Documents\GitHub\blink-2040, this may take a while...: Failed

It also fails on import in other circustances and especially fails to download sdk? Mitt:

Failed to download and install SDK and/or toolchain.

Can you post the developer log you get when it fails - this can be found at Help -> Toggle Developer Tools -> Console? Also, is this with version 0.15.2, as we improved the downloading with that latest version?

Can you delete the C:/Users/Me/.pico-sdk/examples folder and try again?

Help -> Toggle Developer Tools -> Console

Not as such, I used a manual install method suggested by https://github.com/grblHAL/RP2040/discussions/82, since the extension wasn't pulling down the sdk at all, and now I can build by connecting to the separarately downloaded sdk per the "idiot's" guide.

I had nothing to do with the examples, as I tried installing grblHAL for RP2040 first. Got the message. Ripped out the extension. Reinstalled the extension and then tried the examples but got the fail to download sdk. I was using 0.15.2. So don't blame the examples. The sdk download is failing every time via the extension regardless of the project you were trying to setup.

As I have the build up and running, using the guide above, I am dropping this as a time waster.

Take care in you're writing here. Are you saying there is another version later than 0.15.2 that "fixes" a problem? I have auto update set and 0.15.2 is the latest, or I assume its the latest, since it is Code is not prompting for a later install. Hence, you may not have improved the downloading, since the problem is reported against 0.15.2.

@stelladraco27 I think your issue may be related to different drives (C: vs D:), so may be fixed by #74

I think this issue has been fixed in 0.16.0, so closing this issue
