Installation Issues - Infinite Loop

[thayden]

I've got a brand new VM running Windows 11 pretty much off the shelf. I can install and run Cube IDE but when I try to install the STM32CubeProgrammer (64 bit version) I get into an infinite loop where the following happens:

- It opens the Install Wizard which then closes

- It opens the blue "STM32 Cube Programmer" window, which then closes

- It opens the Install Wizard which then closes

Here is a video of the behavior: https://www.loom.com/share/b3ce5e7a79ad425d840296845fd0c1ed

The only way I can exit this loop is to reset the whole machine. It's not installed, so I can't uninstall it. I tried removing everything, upgrading java, and still the same problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hello @thayden and welcome to the ST Community :smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes:.

Can you try to install it with admin rights?

Best Regards.

Sadly the same problem! Here is a video link of me installing as administrator:

Great !

Exactly same endless movie, that it producing on my laptop on WIN10/64 , 22H2 .

I didnt complain about , because i think its almost useless, expecting a solution by STM.

STM has a new political orientation, now its most important to force users to login and check, whether there might be a cheap, old st-linkV2 and refuse working then to debug genuine STM cpus, than making programs, that work reliable or are at all working.

 

(btw in my case:  End of "case" -> we cannot reproduce the error, so we cannot do anything about it. < )

Hello - just wondering if I can bump this thread for someone at ST to help. This is still an issue for me. Thank you!

Hello ST.. Any solution?

I'm having same issue, the GUI of STM32CubeProgrammer can't start.

Nope. I can't figure this out. Short of re-installing the entire OS, I'm not sure what to do..

I'm not sure if this information will help ST to figure out the problem.

 

Everything was working fine few months back with version 2.12.0.

Recently I saw latest version 1.15.0. I updated CubeProgrammer to this version.

Right after finished installation of 1.15.0, there's popup message saying I need to agree about sharing statistical data or something (not sure the exact words).

 

I click Ok button or agree button, but nothing happen. I have to force close using Windows task manager.

The next time I go into the CubeProgrammer, until now, the blue page shows for one second, then automatically closed.

I just found the workaround: Install 32bit version of STM32CubeProgrammer.

 

My laptop and the Windows OS is 64bit, so I normally install the 64bit version of STM32CubeProgrammer.

I don't feel difference using 32bit version. It does the basic job that I need (erase, download to MCU, verify).

Hello @thayden,

 

Sorry for the late reply. 

I have tested the installation of STM32CubeProg 2.15.0 on Windows 11 and did not encounter the issue described. I even tried with a freshly installed VM, and everything seems to be working fine. Did the same behavior occur with older versions ?

Just an update:

Problem is still there using new version STM32CubeProgrammer v2.16.0. After installing, the program is not responding after I click OK button. See attached pic.

 

I need to force close from task manager. The next time I run the CubeProgrammer, it auto-closed by itself after showing the blue welcome screen for about 2 seconds.

 

At least the workaround method is still working:

jre\bin\java.exe -Djna.nosys=true -jar STM32CubeProgrammer.exe
