I have tried many times now to install esp32 from boards manager. i have tried to install the latest driver but it still won't work. Can someone help me? i use the Esp 32 on school projects so it's important. this is what the console says when i try:

Which version of the IDE?
Which operating system?
Drivers have no relation with installation problems of a board package.

Note that I have assumed that you're using IDE 2.x.
I don't know what you are doing but it doesn't sound right. For an Espressif esp32 board install you need the following in the Additional Boards Manager
https://espressif.github.io/arduino-esp32/package_esp32_index.json
Then go into the Boards Manager and click Install on the 'esp32 Espressif' entry as seen in the attached pics. For general purpose esp32 work I use the DOIT entry as seen in the attached pic.
i use the newest version, 2.3.3
i have added everything additional that is required, but it still says that the download fails. does it matter that i run Arduino IDE on windows server 2019 maybe?
1. Open IDE.
2. File ---> Preferences and click.
3. A window will appear. Copy the following text in the box named:
Addtional Boards Manager URLs: and then click on OK button.
https://espressif.github.io/arduino-esp32/package_esp32_index.json
4. Tools ---> Board: -----> Boards Manager ... and click.
5. A window will appear. In the InputBox type: ESP32. The board package will appear and install it.
i have already done that, but it still won't work, i have even reinstalled the pc
School network? Firewall rules?
no that is the one i cant download
That would make sense, but since we are an IT class in high school we have our own router and internet that is not a part of a domain or anything like that just so we can use whatever we need
As a help in troubleshooting (it will not solve the problem), can you access the http://downloads.arduino.cc/tools/dfu-util-0.11-arduino5-windows_386.tar.gz in a browser?
Further I would not know what causes this.
i have tried that, but the file won't open. but thanks for trying, i'll ask the school to provide me a new pc then
The browser should allow you to download.
If you have access to a PC (e.g. at home), you can install the IDE and the board package there. Next copy the board package to a memory stick (or similar) and take it to the problematic PC and copy it there.
The location of the board package should be
C:\Users\yourUsername\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages
that is smart, i haven't thought about that, thank you i will try that!
