installing without admin elevation (Windows)

Postby mzimmers » Fri May 13, 2022 2:41 pm

Hi all -

I'm trying to install the IDF using the Windows installer. I don't have admin privilege on my system, and even if I select an installation folder under my home directory, I get the prompt asking for admin login. Is there a way around this?

My long-term intention is to use VS Code, but I couldn't get a build working, so I'm currently trying to install just the IDF.

Tha
EDIT: I'm also trying to use VS Code to configure the IDF. The default pathname the wizard gives me is:

C:\Users\Michael.Zimmers\.espressif\tools\xtensa-esp32-elf\esp-2021r2-patch3-8.4.0\xtensa-esp32-elf\bin

which is longer than 90 characters. I would appreciate any suggestions for changing this path to something that the tool can maintain.
