[SOLVED] J-Link software install error "Child process exited with code 100"

  • J-Link software install error "Child process exited with code 100"

    I downloaded the new V7.68c J-Link software to update my previous V7.68b version. I have an Ubuntu Linux system. Normally, I check the box in the downloaded file Permissions "Allow executing file as program". This either installs or updates the software on my system. Today, I get a "Child process exited with code 100" error. My PC is an Intel NUC and I have not had any problems before. Is there another way to install the J-Link software or is there an error I should look for?

    Ok. After trying a few times and resetting the PC, the file installed. I don't know what the solution was, but I will label this as solved.

  • Hi,

    We have not yet heard of such an issue yet.
    It is good to hear that you were able to resolve it.

    As it was resolved by resetting the PC, I assume that the PC was in some weird state that caused the issue.

    Should this issue reappear, we would be very interested in a way to reliably reproduce this, so we can look into it.
