    You can also post on esp32.com, this is where most of the Espressif developers hang around. Chances are that you get a quicker answer over there. – StrawHat Jan 22 '21 at 10:59

    The real error message is half-visible under the modal dialog box. How about moving it and copy-pasting the real error messages. – Tarmo Jan 22 '21 at 11:16
  • If the installer is not working for you, try to follow the instructions for installing the tools by hand (just take in mind that esp-idf does not like spaces in the path): https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/stable/esp32/get-started/windows-setup-scratch.html#get-esp-idf – juanpablo_c Mar 30 '21 at 12:34

Run as administrator. It appeared to work for me.
