Question
I encountered issues after upgrading from Tizen Studio 2.2 to 3.0 on Windows 10 Pro:
- The package manager update corrupted data files and broke project file references
- Fresh installation of Tizen Studio 3.0 fails - the installer terminates after showing the extraction screen
- Reverting to 2.2 works initially, but package manager updates still fail
- No error messages appear - the process simply terminates after showing "the installation process is starting"
I suspect this might be related to permissions or Java configuration, as debugging didn't reveal any exceptions.
Answer
