Hello all, Has anyone tried to install this update on windows?

I completely uninstalled both versions and downloaded the 6.14 version again. Now it just says path too long. What do I do? Debajyoti Sengupta

On continuing with the installation and typing root in cmd results in this. RegOpenKeyEx: returned 2: The system cannot find the file specified. RegOpenKeyEx: returned 2: The system cannot find the file specified. RegQueryValueEx: returned 2: The system cannot find the file specified. RegOpenKey…

Strangely, after I uninstalled root 6.14 (no root on my system rn) on typing root in cmd does this: Error: cannot open file “iostream” (tmpfile)(2) *** Interpreter error recovered ***

The first error input_line_1:1:10: fatal error: ‘new’ file not found means you need to install MS Visual Studio 2017. The second error Error: cannot open file “iostream” (tmpfile)(2) means that ROOT 5.34 cannot find its directory; likely because ROOTSYS is not pointing to the ROOT 5.34 install dire…

HI Alex, I am currently using the 5.34 build. Turns out it was an issue with Visual Studio. I had to reinstall minGW as well. For now 5.34 seems to be working. I will install VS and try to install 6.14 again (after uninstalling 5.34) and hopefully that would work. All my root installations are in…

Hello Alex, I installed VS 2017 and uninstalled root 5.34. I then installed root 6.14 at C:\ the installer still gave me the error that the path is too long, but I ignored it and added the the bin to the system variables on my own. I can open root 6.14 now but it throws a lot of error messages b…

Hi, Looks like you have two “Windows Kits” installed. Maybe get rid of the 10.0.16299.0 version? [image] Debajyoti_Sengupta: C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.17134.0 C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.16299.0 Cheers, Axel.

Hi Axel, Hello ROOT Team, First of all, thank you very much I just install it on my machine and I have about the same error. I have just checked if I have two versions of “Windows Kits” and I only have one (10.0.17134.0). So, I guess it has nothing to do with the client installation but the discr…

Ha, interesting! That’s bad - and we’ll need @bellenot to take a look. He should be back on about one week. Until then, could you try to build ROOT yourself? Should be as simple as download CMake download the ROOT sources open cmake-gui and point it to the relevant directories, click “Configure”,…
