I have installed VSCode (Cursor IDE in my case) as System. I tried to install Platformio extension also as System (Cursor is started by Administrator). Unfortunately, even in this case, the platformio is installed for the current user. As a result, the ESP-IDF framework doesn’t work because it is installed in “C:\Users\Ihor Shevchenko.platformio\” and the xtensa tool doesn’t allow spaces in the path. Is it possible to install platformio extension as a System or in a custom directory?
Before installing the extension you can set the environment variable “PLATFORMIO_CORE_DIR” to change the desired installation directory.
