Problem Installing PlatformIO in VS Code

PlatformIO IDE
1

Hey Guys,

I’m getting an error when trying to install PlatformIO through VS Code. My user folder DOES have spaces in it and is an administrator. I tried enabling the general Admin account and changing it, but when I rename the folder, it says it can’t because the folder is in use, blah blah blah. I even tried renaming it after restarting the computer, still in use. Here are the logs:

This issue has been resolved. I needed to add some environment variables to the PATH in order for installation to commence. Odd that the installation was not all encompassing but whatever.
