During installation of MDK-ARM v5.43 (dated Aug 1, 2025), when unpacking files the following is shown in command window:I: Extracting files to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Arm\PacksHowever, %LOCALAPPDATA% is not being expanded correctly. In my case it shoud be replaced by: C:\Users\dougr\AppData\Local\Arm\Packs.Instead, the pack is expanded in the same folder as the installation executable (MDK543.exe).How to fix this? seems to me as a problem in the installer during the unpacking process.thanksDouglas Renaux
I have the same problem. %LOCALAPPDATA% is not expanded correctly and the Packs are unpacked into the installer folder.
%LOCALAPPDATA%
You are right, I can duplicate this problem here as well. Our MDK v5.43 installer does not expand %LOCALAPPDATA% correctly.
However, there is an easy workaround: You just need to touch the Pack-path. As soon as you modify this string, the installer will work. Even if you want to use the default path, you could delete the 's' at the end of the Pack-path and then add it again before you press the 'Next' button.
We plan to fix this issue in an MDK 5.43a version, which will be released in a few days.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
Thank you HansI will install 5.43a when available.
