Android/Code Works manual install

Development Getting Started & Setup
, , ,

I’ve searched for hours but no solution for my problem yet.
When I try do install AndroidWorks which comes with Unreal or the latest CodeWorks from Nvidia website the installation halts on “Downloading manifest file” in Nvidia AndroidWorks Component Manager. I don’t use a proxy - it’s my home PC, I’ve tryied the only solution I found - setting a http_proxy environment variable but to no avail.
I was wondering if there is a way to manually install all the packages, apis and sdks which are installed by the AndroidWorks setup? A place to download all those manually?

This is the log file content (in folder):

04-19 22:28:36.1 E: fopen failed, errno = 2 (Process:13556 Thread:Load Stub 2 …..\TADP_NX\gui\chooser\src\ChooserApp.cpp:370)
04-19 22:28:42.1 D: resetDownloadApps begin to delete (Process:13556 Thread: 0 …..\TADP_NX\helper\downloader\src\main.cpp:178)
04-19 22:28:42.3 D: resetDownloadApps finish deleting (Process:13556 Thread: 0 …..\TADP_NX\helper\downloader\src\main.cpp:180)

04-19 22:28:42.3 D: searchForApp start (Process:13556 Thread: 0 …..\TADP_NX\helper\downloader\src\main.cpp:189)

Thanks in advance!

I’m curious as to whether it was a problem on the other end of the download. Now that it’s been over 12 hours, would you mind trying it again real quick just to rule out a problem at the download site that may have been resolved by now?

I just tried again and still the same :frowning:

Hey ,

I have not been able to locate single manifest files for your installation. However, I have a few links that may be able to provide you with additional information and completely install the files.

  • [Unreal Engine 4: Android Quick Start][1]
  • [Nvidia CodeWorks for Android][2]
  • [Nvidia Download Center][3]

Please make sure you check your firewall and antivirus to make sure they’re not blocking the downloads due to a feature being switched on in the their settings.

Thanks!

I am running into a very similar issue. When I execute “CodeWorksforAndroid-1R4-windows.exe”, it tells me that my manifest file is broken. I navigated to the manifest.json file located in “C:\NVIDIA\CodeWorksforAndroid” and here is the content of the json file (it looks incomplete)…

{
“manifest”: {
“name”:“AndroidWorks”,
“tadp”: [
