Error: 13 INTERNAL: Library installation failed:

Software IDE 2.x
1

Hello...
I have installed the IDE Arduino 2.3.2 on Windows 10.
When I select "Sketch, Include Library, Add .ZIP Library" the error appears:
"Error: 13 INTERNAL: Library installation failed: moving extracted archive to destination dir: Library not valid."
I haven't found a solution to this error yet. Is the .ZIP file the cause of the error?
I'm thankful for any help.
Greetings Juergen

Which library are you trying to install and where did you download it from ?

Hi UKHeliBob,
thank you for your Help.
I downloaded the file from [https://heltec.org/] and stored it in my
H:\download folder.
Zip-File: Heltec-esp32-arduino-3.0.0-alpha

The .zip seems to contain considerably more than just the library files. It is described as a Development Environment and says

  • Development framework update to espressif ESP32 based on ESP-IDF v5.1

Which Arduino board are you using and what device does the library support ?

Please attach the zip file that you are trying to install to a new reply here

Hello UKHeliBob,

If I attach the ZIP-File at this E-Mail a Message appears:

The size of the file attachment exceeds the maximum size allowed by the server. Try saving the file to a shared location and then submit a link.

The ZIP-File is to big.

For this reason I uploaded the ZIP file to the Magenta Cloud.

Hello UKHeliBob,

Do you can’t download the File at this Link?

I have downloaded it before but, as I said previously

That is why you cannot install it using "Add Zip library"

That library seems to be available through library manager; I suggest that you use that approach. I tried it and it successfully installed; when trying the ZIP version, it failed wuth the 13 INTERNAL error.
