AMD ROCm Windows Installation Error 215

[TheBurntWaffl3]

Near the end of the installation process for AMD HIP SDK Installer, the installation stops with general error 215. The computer has 6800xt with 5600 CPU, windows 10 x64 22H2. Would appreciate any help with this!

Can you upload a screenshot?

Can you check if you have any files in C:\Program Files\AMD\ROCm?

[TheBurntWaffl3]

it seems I dont currently have an ROCm file in the AMD folder. Is this an issue?

Did you try removing all the previous driver files using AMD Cleanup Utility (https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/gpu-601) or DDU (https://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html)
I think it's worth a try

Please try the installation again and ensure to select the installation directory. Our install team suspects that may be the cause of the error.

Can you provide logs from C:\Program Files\AMD\CIM\Log? The Visual Studio plugin has logs at %temp% directory with the naming scheme of dd_setup_.log and dd_VSIXInstaller_.log

Thanks for the logs, I have let our install team know they are available.

I encountered the same error code during my installation.
It would be very helpful document the problem under:
https://www.amd.com/en/support/kb/faq/gpu-kb215

Sadly my logs are no longer available, because I chose the nuclear option:
My seecond installation attempt went smoothly on a fresh install of Windows 11 with the latest Visual Studio 2022

[TheBurntWaffl3]

After updating my visual studio code it successfully installed, no further issue!

I've got the same error. Only visual studio plugin is failed. Here is the log:

How can I get the HIPExtension2022.vsix file?

You need an archiver that can handle MSI files, such as 7-zip.
Open the HIP SDK installer EXE with 7-zip, and extract the MSI file from Packages\Apps\ROCmSDKPackages\VisualStudioPlugin2022,
Then open the extracted MSI file with 7-zip, you can find a 'VisualStudio2022Install' file, extract that file and add a .vsix extension to it. Then double-click VisualStudio2022Install.vsix to install.

Holy crap, it works! Thanks a lot!

hi guys
this solution looking as a joke. it works, HIP is installed (fu...ing 5GB !!!), but i am some disappointed and now expect that such blunders will repeat again. why nobody still didnt correct this mistake and didnt rename msi to vsix?
