Forum: System Workbench for STM32

Cant install system workbench for STM32

Im trying to install system workbench for STM32 on my laptop but i cant, the instalator give to my DPInst.exe 64 bit error.
SO. windows 8.1 64 bits.

Anybody know how solve this error?

I had the same problem, I use “dpinst_amd64.exe” to install the STLink driver.
The debuger seems to work but then goes wrong. The OpenOCD says “Error: jtag status contains invalid mode value - communication failure”.
I think the problem is WIN 8.1 if you use a laptop with WIN 10 the system works smoothly.


Same to me, tried to install it on a win 7 pro and a win 10 pro system both 64-bit versions. On both systems the same error message - you have to use the 64-bit version of DPINST.exe ... when it tries to install st-link/2-1 Driver - very anoying.

This can happen when STLink installer fails to determine the architecture.
STMicroelectronics fixed this a couple a weeks ago, it will be released with System Workbench with version 2.1.

Waiting for the correction you should be able to install STLink driver manually: go to SW_INSTALL_DIR/STLinkUSBDriver and run dpinst_amd64.exe or dpinst_x86.exe.


Hi I am using windows 8.1 64 bit. I tried installing install_sw4stm32_win_64bits-v2.9.exe file but it starts the command prompt after that it ends automatically. I am not getting further installation window.
