I haven't had the chance to confirm that WindRiver and the rest of the FRC tools can successfully compile, transfer, and run the code, however.

This solution works perfectly.

Guide:
Install WRWB 3.0, then 3.3
During the installation of 3.3 (CD2), the installation will hang at the bspinstall.bat file.

Open task manager, and end the task tcpcl.exe (I think that's what it's called. There may be more than one instance running.)

The installation will then proceed as normal.

Install the WRWB C++ 2013 Update.

Open WRWB, build your code, deploy to the robot.
