Alex Anikstein Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 As of now, there is a known issue when attempting to reinstall the Power PMAC IDE on Windows 10. At some point in the installation, it will end with the error message "Unable to create directory: '\ProjectTemplates\PowerPmac'." Our software team is currently testing methods to find a suitable workaround and ultimately the installation itself so that it can properly install. We will keep updating this post as we dig deeper. If you have a Windows 7 or 8 computer, we strongly recommend installing the IDE before upgrading the computer to Windows 10. In our testing, we found that the IDE works properly after upgrading if it was previously installed, though it may need to be repaired or updated to a newer patch.

Alex Anikstein Posted August 8, 2016 Author Share Posted August 8, 2016 This problem is caused by attempting to uninstall the IDE on a system that has Windows Update KB3124262. This update prevents the system from cleanly uninstalling, and as such, when the installer is re-run, it believes that components exist when they do not. If you experience issues installing the IDE, please run "vs_shell.msi", generally located at: C:\DeltaTau\Power PMAC IDE\VS\vs_shell.msi and then attempt to re-run the installer. This will be fixed in the next IDE release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
