Hello, when I tried to import code in the Arduino I got this error.

fork/exec C:\Users\vesel\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\builtin\tools\ctags\5.8-arduino11/ctags.exe: The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.

Compilation error: fork/exec C:\Users\vesel\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\builtin\tools\ctags\5.8-arduino11/ctags.exe: The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.

I tried to reinstall, nothing happened, same error.

Hi @veskicha ,

you may try to open the path in the explorer:

C:\Users\vesel\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\builtin\tools\ctags\5.8-arduino11

and check whether this directory and the file ctags.exe exists.

If not there is still something wrong with your IDE installation.

If it exists check your Antivirus program; it might not allow to access the directory or file. In that case you could try to exclude this directory from the AV process.

I also found this

https://support.arduino.cc/hc/en-us/articles/360018444739-Error-file-does-not-exist-no-such-file-or-directory-system-cannot-find-the-file-specified?

Good luck!
