Windows 8 -- Reinstall failure

[DjScribbles]

The log is likely relative to the Users folder (Docs and Settings in XP, User); if it isn't then try creating a Documents and Settings folder to give it a place to write to.

However, you absolutely need to install 3.0.1 first no matter what OS, then you use the second disc to patch to 3.3.1 for Non-XP32 bit systems.

But, to answer your direct question. I would first try removing the C:\Windriver directory completely. I think this is all you need to do, I don't think anything in the registry would cause you trouble for reinstalling.

Also, there is an issue with installing WindRiver on windows 8! See the instructions for the work-around http://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/...elopment-tools

We've already tried blowing away the WindRiver folder several times now.

Eventually, we just copied the WindRiver folder from a working machine, dropped it onto his laptop, and were able to successfully build and deploy code. My team is heavily anticipating the roboRIO for 2015 and the presumed new build tools that come with it.

I had the exact same problem. I was able to get it to work by running the installer in Windows 7 compatibility mode, though it may have taken a few tries.
