Hello @LBooz.1​ ,

Would fail with this error it can be due to the conflicts between Java versions.

So please, if you have many java versions installed try to uninstall all except 1.8.0_26 and then re-install STM32CubeProgrammer.

I'd highly recommend you to run STM32CubeProgrammer using admin rights.

Hope my answer helps you. Please keep me informed about your progress on your issue.

Hello Imen,

Thanks for the fast reply.

I have only Java jre1.8.0_261 and jdk1.8.0_181 installed. The jdk shouldnt be a problem, right?

I also am admin on my account and in adition tried to execute the installer as admin.

Hi @LBooz.1​ ,

Can you please tell me how do you install Cubeprogrammer? You unzip the install file before? Are you using double click on exe file or command line?

This information are useful to reproduce the issue.

Best regards,

Houda

I face the same problem. I unzip the archive file and run the EXE as administrator (win10).

I've tried:

• Different versions from x64 CubeProgrammer: v2.5.0, v2.6.0, v2.7.0.
• Uninstalled every Java installation and installed the latest (jre1.8.0_281) but tried an older one too (jre1.8.0_241). No JDK installed.
• Selected different installation folders

This is the first error screen that pops up, then I get the same Java issue as mentioned above:

 

x86 version of CubeProgrammer seems to work however.

I have exactly the same error message. Tried installing Java 16 and using the 32-bit version using Admin Rights. Didn't make any difference.

Hey, is there an update on this I'm seeing the same issue - have tried multiple versions of java and cubeprogrammer

[Houda GHABRI]

Hi @NMurf.1​ ,

Are you installing CubeProgrammer with admin rights?

If no can you please install it by clicking right on installer file then "Run as asdministartor"?

Hey Houda, thanks for replying!

Yes I've tried installing it with admin privileges

Cheers,

Seeing the same issue as described in original post. Trying to install STM32CubeProgrammer v2.9.0 and already have jre1.8.0_311 installed on PC (no other Java installed, Windows 11). I also have the same error window as screen-grabbed by @AVarg.3​ and posted above--the window popup doesnt allow me to scroll down to get more information on potential system paths being accessed. Any solutions??

Just in case, I also deleted all ST products and tried to go from scratch but that didn't do anything. I have also been running the installation attempts as administrator.

The below image is taken when the "Execution Failed" window pops up.

[Patrick Chwalek]

I found the solution for me which was to get to the bottom of the Execution Failed popup box because there is a selection box that prompts you if you'd like to continue. If you close the Execution Failed window by hitting the "X" in the top right corner, it defaults to "no" and closes the installation session.

What's annoying is that the popup window has no ability to scroll so you have to figure out a way to view the popup window in a way that you can have access to the selection box at the very bottom (ST needs to fix this). You may also be able to select "yes" by clicking Enter when the Execution Failed window appears.

Hi! I have a problem with Java too. I have seen that the Cube Programmer Zip has his own jre, but when I try to install ir I get the following message. Do you Know what could be happening here? Thanks.

[Tesla DeLorean]

What are you using to unpack the .ZIP?

Do you unpack to a folder or do you try to use in situ via the Shell Extensions?

They migrated from the Oracle JRE, perhaps it is missing some Microsoft VC Runtime / Redistributables?

Encountered similar errors on fresh Win10 installs and apps needing MSVC120 and MSVC140

[CGali.2]

Sorry for the .delay. I unpack the zip in my desktop with winrar. I have tried to put into a folder all the stuff but nothing.

I don't understand why MSVC is needed if the program is developed in Java, but i have tried to reinstall the lastest packeet of redistributables and nothing change.

Thanks a lot for your time.

I have no problem when I install 32 bits version.

I was able to get past this error by installing the program in it's default location. I did this by right clicking on the .exe file and selected "run as administrator". Previously I was not allowed to create a new folder in "Program Files"

Hello,

I've had this issue automating the installation process for an application that calls cube programmer.
It might not be your exact problem but I'm sure it could help somebody else searching this error.

I basically use the "1.2.8 Automatic/Silent installation mode" from the user manual. So I have a script that checks if the version is already installed and skip it if so because the base installer doesn't do that. The script is calling ".\jre\bin\java.exe" -jar "stm_cp_installer_path.exe" "auto_installer_path.xml".

If the script is not in the same path as the installer files, I get the "IzPackException":

If I put my script in the same folder than the "jre" folder,  auto-install.xml and installer.exe, it does work:

I've tried using absolute path everywhere, but this is the only setup that work.

My best guess is that, a step in the installer is using a relative path (when the CMD windows popups during installation).

Hope it will help someone!
