It tells Setup was completed successfully. But in the textbox there is: particle: Installing plugins… ! ! exit status 3221225477 And the same error occurs again when calling “particle setup” from command prompt. Uninstall and re-install did not help. On a different notebook it worked, now I h…

@ZinggJM , I stopped using nodejs to install CLI on my Win10x64 laptop which has one USB3 and one USB2 connector. As @ScruffR said, I ONLY use the windows CLI installer and it works every time. Make sure to get the latest version.

You may have noticed, that I tried exactly that. And it worked on one notebook, and now also on a second one. But it doesn’t work on my new MINIX. I only tried to use nodejs (npm) to get more information. I still would like to know if this is related to missing USB 2.0 And your support should also …

[image] ZinggJM: And your support should also care about that. @ZinggJM , no one who has responded to you, including the Elites, work for Particle. We are all volunteers. My laptop's USB2 is ONLY used for a wireless mouse adapter. I run all my Particle devices from two USB3 powered hubs. A…

[image] ZinggJM: And your support should also care about that I understand that this sentence can be misunderstood. Sorry for that. I do not need help, as I have the workaround using one of the other notebooks. But I thought I should report what I think I have found out. With the above sente…

@ZinggJM , I’m still not convinced that the issue is the USB3-only environment. However, it does beg for some testing by others who have similar testing if possible. Until others can duplicate the issue, it is not a “reportable” bug IMO. I will poke the Particle folks to see if they have any insig…

Thanks for reporting the issue @ZinggJM and thanks for helping to understand what’s going on @ScruffR and @peekay123 We’ll keep an eye out for additional users having issues with laptops without USB 2.0.

[image] ZinggJM: Can't find Python executable "python" This error from npm is because you don't have node-gyp configured so npm doesn't know how to compile the binaries required for the particle-cli. One way to fix this is documented here: GitHub - nodejs/node-gyp: Node.js native addon build…

I tried to install Particle CLI on a new small box PC (CSL 18012) with Windows 10 pro that has a USB 2.0 connector. Installation with Windows CLI Installer failed also. So USB 3.0 only is not the cause. The installation was on a fresh installation of Windows 10 pro 1803, with Windows Defender only,…

Is there any prerequisite for installing Particle CLI with Windows CLI installer, such as Java or python?

@ZinggJM , no, there is no prerequisite. However, I have installed using “Run as Administrator” on my Win10x64 Home system. I also had to include the OpenSSL directory (created by the installer) in the PATH. The PC in question is a Gole 1 handheld PC with 4GB of RAM, 64GB of SSD, one USB3 and one …

@ZinggJM, check out this post... another user was having problems with the CLI installer that turned out to be blocked network traffic. I did some testing with Wireshark to determine the server(s) that the CLI installer contacts:
