Install of Keil MDK 5.40 Community silently fails

Samuel Warrick

Hello, I am running Windows 11 for arm on a virtual machine on my mac. I downloaded the keil MDK 5.40 installer and tried to install. It goes through all the steps and installs files in the Users/<user>/AppData/Local/Keil_v5 folder but at the end of the install the install gui just disappears and does not give a finished or launch uVision message or anything. There is no installed app in the windows apps list, just the files in that folder. Looking at task manager the installer is no longer running. I was wondering if I was going to run into issues with windows on arm and keil but I have no idea what the issue is as the install just disappears. Are there any log files I can find in the install directory? I took a look but could not find anything. Thank you for any help.

    2 possible issues come to mind:

    1. Keil tools (like many compiler tool chains that support command-line operation) really want to be installed outside the standard windows folders, if only because that allows to avoid any and all occurences of blanks in the path names.
    2. The installer may have to be run as administrator, at least to finish the job.
