Visual C++ runtime error with pioplus

Advanced Solutions PlatformIO Account
21

No, it still exists.

22

I am having the same issue, i can;t use platformio bc it shows up the C++ runtime error. Any solution?

23

Please provide an output from system Terminal cmd

echo %PATH%
echo %PYTHONPATH%
python --version
pip --version
pip list
24

C:\Users\esmer>echo %PYTHONPATH%
%PYTHONPATH%

C:\Users\esmer>python --version
Python 3.6.2

C:\Users\esmer>pip --version
pip 9.0.1 from c:\users\esmer\appdata\local\programs\python\python36\lib\site-packages (python 3.6)

C:\Users\esmer>pip list
DEPRECATION: The default format will switch to columns in the future. You can use --format=(legacy|columns) (or define a format=(legacy|columns) in your pip.conf under the [list] section) to disable this warning.
pip (9.0.1)
setuptools (28.8.0)

This was the result from my cmd, if I got you right!

25

Could you provide the same output from PlatformIO IDE Terminal?

26

I can’t bc it gives me the Issue tab:

Please open PlatformIO IDE Terminal and type pio upgrade. Now, it should work with 3.5.0a9.

28

Exactly same bug.

@ivankravets,
where I can get 3.5.0a9?

d:\>pio upgrade
You're up-to-date!
PlatformIO 3.4.1 is currently the newest version available.
29

http://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/installation.html#development-version

30

I have this same issue, I am at the latest version 3.5.0a16.

I have tried removing Python 2.7.14 from my system path and also Python 36-32 from my user variables path. After this there was no python version number from sys terminal but the problem persisted. pip was also upgraded in the atom terminal to latest version.

31

I reported the same issue with VS Code running on win7.

“I have deleted the PIO extension from from VSC, deleted VSC and manually removed the leftovers from both and reloaded several times. I have also reloaded PHYTHON27 (32bit) a couple of times. BTW PYTHON27 64bit doesn’t work at all, PIO doesn’t recognize it.
In summary, my code builds and loads correctly. Starting the ‘PIO Home’ causes the runtime error. The path to ‘pio’ doesn’t get set for terminal.”

32

Could you uninstall all Pythons from system, remove %HOME_DIR%/.platformio/penv and restart VSCode?

33

I’m on Win7 and have the same problems.
PlatfomIO Home will not causing the error.

Removing Python is not an option!
I need Python for other apps on my system.

My version is “Python 2.7.10”, according to Redirecting... this should work.

34

Why does the IDE always install Core 3.5.0a16 no matter whether I check use development version or or.
I thought the latest stable version is 3.4.1.
I would expect to see this version if I uncheck development version.
Thanks

35

Currently, all our IDEs depend on PIO Core 3.5 which has not been released yet. We use it for PIO Home.

PIO Core 3.5 is planned for release next week.

36

Still having this problem. Any suggestions?

I’m reluctant to uninstall all of my python installations as recommended in a different thread, as I have multiple python versions installed, each with multiple packages/modules.

Thank you so much that provided debug session! The issue is already fixed in the latest release of our IDE.

If someone has this issue:

  1. Please navigate to Windows > Control Center > Programs and remove all installed Pythons
  2. Remove C:|Users\***\.platformio folder
  3. Restart IDE.
