Hi, I got this error message when trying to download PlatformIO IDE Extension on VS Code. I am using Windows. Anyone is also experiencing the same issue or has solved this?
I tried downloading PlatformIO IDE on 2 different computers and 1 can be downloaded with no issues but the other one has this error message.
Any help is appreciated Thank you!
Check if you have a folder C:\Users\<username>\.platformio
If the folder exists:
i tried this when my platformio ide is taking forever to initialise and it works, but the error i am getting is after i have downloaded the python 3.12.4, so does this solution work for the error i am facing?
I have not installed Python manually and use the Python automatically installed by PlatformIO.
I can’t guarantee that this solution will work, but you can give it a try.
did you have this error while initialising platformio to start? as python wasn’t automatically installed by platformio for me. i had to click on the option shown in the picture to download it.
No, I didn’t have this (or I can’t remember it).
Did you also have this on the other (working) computer?
yes for all the computers i tried it all shows this prompt to download python
I remember this bug. It was a few years ago. At that time I had installed a Python version. Removing Python and reinstalling PlatformIO had helped.
will try to uninstall python and platformio and try again thank you!
