ide 2.0 installation error

Development Tools IDE 2.x
1

During installation of ide 2.0 the process reported that many paths were too long. As a consequence the associated files could not be installed and ide 2.0 finished as an incomplete instance.
Anyone else experienced this issue?

Hi @ronbentley1. Yes, this is a known issue:

The problem is the deeply nested folder structure of the NPM module dependencies.

There are a couple of workarounds:

  • Use one of the installer versions of Arduino IDE 2.x instead of the "ZIP file" version.
  • Install the IDE to a location near the root of the drive. For example, C:\Arduino instead of C:\this_is_my_long_folder_name\and_here_is_my_long_subfolder_name\i_really_love_arduino\Arduino
