Question
I installed Tizen .NET SDK Preview on Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition. While everything else works fine, I'm encountering a debugging issue. When I try to start debugging, I receive the error message: "Last error message: Failed to get sdb.exe program".
I've tried the following troubleshooting steps:
- Set the path in Tizen options to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Tizen\Tools
- Also tried pointing to the tizen-sdk directory However, Visual Studio Tizen tools still don't recognize sdb.
Could someone help me resolve this issue?
Answer
Problem Understanding
The issue occurs when Visual Studio cannot locate the sdb.exe file required for debugging Tizen applications. This typically happens when the SDK path is not configured correctly in Visual Studio.
Solution Methods
-
Verify sdb.exe existence:
- Check if sdb.exe exists in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Tizen\Tools
-
Correct Tools Path configuration:
- Go to Tools → Options → Tizen → Tools
- Set the Tools Path to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Tizen\ (without the Tools subfolder)
- This configuration has been confirmed to work by other developers
Additional Tips
- Ensure you have the latest version of Tizen .NET SDK installed
- Restart Visual Studio after changing the Tools Path configuration
- If issues persist, consider reinstalling the Tizen SDK
