AR# 9929

3.1i ISE and Foundation Install - Foundation Express Install hangs when installing ISE to a root directory (such as D:\\express).

Description

Keywords: 3.1i, ISE, Foundation, Install, FPGA Express, hangs, D:\\express,
root, directory

Urgency: Standard

General Description:
When installing the 3.1i tools, if the install location is a root directory, the FPGA
Express installation can hang. This occurs when a location such as "D:\\express"
is specified, as this is not recognized as a valid install location.

Solution

This is a known problem with the FPGA Express installer. The workaround is to
first uninstall the 3.1i software, then remove any remaining files. (Be sure to save
all data, license files, etc. that might be contained in the Xilinx tree.)

Then re-run the installation, this time choosing an install location other than the
root directory. An example would be to change the install location from "D:\" to
"D:\xilinx".
