Issues Compiling iCE Studio on Windows – Toolchain & Driver Installation

[Hardik Seth]

Hi Guys,

We are currently trying to compile iCE Studio for Windows, but we are facing issues related to the toolchain installation and enabling drivers.

Additionally, during driver installation on Windows, administrator privileges are required. If we do not grant administrator access, the driver does not get enabled.

However, in our case, when we clone the iCE Studio repository (development branch) and launch the terminal (Git Bash) with administrator privileges, running `npm start` causes the project to fail to compile and run properly.
Its is giving error:
Error Loading Extension
Failed to load extension from: C:\Windows\system32\app. Manifest file is missing or unreadable

So in both scenarios, we are unable to successfully enable the driver and run the project at the same time.

Could you please suggest any workarounds or recommended steps to resolve these Windows-specific issues?

For reference, we have tested the builds on macOS and Linux, and they are working fine.

Looking forward to your guidance.

Best regards,
Hardik
