Eclipse Force.com IDE Plugin Install Error

I'm getting the attached error when attempting to install the latest Force.com IDE plugin on the latest Eclipse version with the latest JDK installed.  The error comes up after I click next on the "Available Software" selection screen of the "Install New Software" dialog.  How can I fix this problem?  Thank you!

 

 

Cannot complete the install because of a conflicting dependency.

This issue is actually caused by Windows 7 UAC (User Access Control) which doesn't allow Eclipse to be updated if you're running it from within the c:\program files directory.  Eclipse doesn't know how to handle that problem and stupidly reports some misleading conflict information.  I've moved my Eclipse install to c:\eclipse and it's working fine now.

Its more than a Windows 7 UAC problem, its an Eclipse permissions problem in general.  The same error occurs on Linux if the Eclipse installation directory is not owned by the current user.   I suspect Eclipse is downloading libraries for Force.com IDE and needs to place them within the Eclipse installation directory.  This is a poor choice on Eclipse's part.  I.e.  Google allows you to setup extensions, etc., in a private directory while using a public/system copy of the software.  Since Eclipse doesn't permit hat, you have to own your own copy.

 

Re-install to your home directory or 

 

chown -R myusername.mygroupname eclipse

@Mr. B.:  Thank you so much for your Windows 7 UAC post!!  I was trying out the new #Indigo release of #Eclipse and got a spurious maven error installing the Force.com IDE plugin when I wasn't even requesting anything to do with maven.

 

I followed your advice, and moved my Eclipse files out from under C:\Program Files directory, and all is well.  This, even though I'm the Administrator for Windows 7 on my machine, and the only user on my notebook!  I guess Windows knows better, and thinks it "owns" the Program Files directory regardless of an Administrator request.

With Windows Server 2008 R2 I've found it sufficent to right click on eclipse.exe and select "Run as administrator". From their it will successfully install and run the Force.com IDE plugin from the program files directory.

I already had placed eclipse in c:\eclipse but i am still getting this conflicting dependency error. What do I do?

santosh duvvurisantosh duvvuri

I have tried after moving to c:\eclipse\ still while installing force.com plugging, I'm getting the following error

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: Force.com IDE 25.0.0.201206181021 (com.salesforce.ide.feature.feature.group 25.0.0.201206181021)

Hay can you plz help me out.

Peter GruhlPeter Gruhl

If you are using Juno, the latest release of Eclipse as of June, 2012, the Force.com IDE must be installed from Marketplace, not the Install New Software link, in order to resolve the file dependencies.  Instead of the usual Help | Install New Software ..., Select Help | Eclipse Marketplace ... | and search for the Force.com IDE plugin in the search tab.  Click the Update button to install it.

 

Hope that helps.

I've tried Ravi's suggestion and that didn't work unfortunately. Also, I can't seem to find it in the Market place. What am I doing wrong?!

Hy,

I've the same issue and dont find a way to work around it. I've tried all of suggestion above (folder location, ruin as administrator, install plugin) but still have the message.


My config:
WINDOWS 7 64 bits
ECLIPSE 4.3 KEPLER


On my previous computer, I could install it, using an all include package (Exclipse + Force IDE) but I don't find it anymore.

Thank you for your help.

Hello,

Check for update iin the help tab. Install the latest Eclipse SDK update and try again to install Force.Com IDE. I did that and it works fine.

Hi,
I had the same issue. Installing from C:\eclipse didn't work.
After checking the screenshots on the salesforce installation guide I saw that I hadn't checked the option "Contact all update sites during...".
After setting this option the installation process went on.
During the installation process I got an "Read timed out" exception when the setup downloads jar files from media.developerforce.com.
To fix this download the named jar files manually and copy them into the eclipse plugin folder.
After that the odyssey ends and i got Force.com IDE to work.
Hope this hint is helpful to someone.

Eclipse Market place solved my conflicting issue. Go to Eclipse Market Place, search for 'Force.com IDE' then click on the link for more result.

Here you go, you would find the result. Navigate to Install button in other tab and install.

I am trying to install Force.com IDE through Eclipse but I am keep geting this error.User-added image
 
Björn Skrzipek 8Björn Skrzipek 8

No need to bother with Eclipse anymore, as the force.com IDE has been turned down and is now accessed via Visual Studio Code.

See here:

Bjorn - thanks for sharing! Any chance you could share how to use the Visual Studio Code to change the metadata for folders and reports? I'm in way over my head. Thanks!

Hi Emily,

unfourtunatly I didn't had the chance so far to dip deeper into VS Code somehow I would recommend this extended introduction:

Hope this will help.
