I installed the Pepper SDK according to the guide (https://qisdk.softbankrobotics.com/sdk/doc/pepper-sdk/ch1_gettingstarted/installation.html) multiple times now, but as i am starting the Robot Emulator for Pepper or trying to connect to the real robot, Android Studio just closes without any error. I looked into the Windows Event Viewer and it says the problem is located in qi.dll in C:\Users[name]\AppData\Local\Temp\qi.dll. The last message in the Event Log says "QI_WRITABLE_PATH=D:\Softbank Robotics\RobotSDK\API 7/naoqi-config/ D:\Softbank Robotics\RobotSDK\API 7\tools/bin/naoqi-bin.exe --qi-listen-url tcp://127.0.0.1:9570" and the emulator loads to 0-17% before closing. I already tried to reinstall pretty much everything and different versions, but nothing helped.

First, are you running it on a compatible system?
Given that you are on Windows 11, this troubleshooting section might apply to your case:
Connection to a real or virtual robot is impossible and log contains:
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: C:\Users\[yourUserName]\AppData\Local\Temp\qi.dll
The error may be caused by space character your session name [yourUserName].

1I have Windows 11 installed, but that should not be the problem, because it's running on my other device with Windows 11. – Yannic May 11 '22 at 10:36

Check the troubleshooting for the installation: https://qisdk.softbankrobotics.com/sdk/doc/pepper-sdk/ch1_gettingstarted/installation.html?highlight=troubleshooting#troubleshooting – Victor Paléologue May 11 '22 at 16:26

1Unfortunately this does not help me, i already checked the troubleshooting, but i have no space in my user name and also have not seen this particular error on my device. – Yannic May 12 '22 at 13:35

Do you have non-ASCII characters in your user name? – Victor Paléologue May 12 '22 at 14:56
-
No, only letters and a dot. – Yannic May 12 '22 at 18:08

Does the file `C:\Users\[yourUserName]\AppData\Local\Temp\qi.dll` exist? – Victor Paléologue May 12 '22 at 18:21
-
Yes. When i delete it, it still crashes with the same Message in the Event Viewer. – Yannic May 13 '22 at 11:33

You could try with a user name with no dot, but frankly I don't know what is wrong. You should probably contact the support. – Victor Paléologue May 13 '22 at 13:01

Guess i will try that. Thank you anyway! – Yannic May 13 '22 at 14:33
