Windows: install roscpp

Hello,

I have started with ROS on Windows today, and when I follow the tutorial and execute

rospack find roscpp

I get back the following:

[rospack] Error: package 'roscpp' not found

How can I install roscpp on Windows?

Hi there,

Just to verify - Every time you open a command window, you'll need to call c:\opt\ros\melodic\x64\setup.bat.

If the above does not solve the problem, could you post your chocolatey log? It is located c:\programdata\chocolatey\logs\chocolatey.log.

We have seen cases where rosdep times out , and trying to determine how widespread that is.

Hi,

actually I think there is not an installation problem: A few hours before the command worked, but at a later time it stopped working. I have attached the call to the shortcut, so yes it has been executed.

Could you post the output of set ros in the command window. It should look something like this: ROS_DISTRO=melodic

ROS_ETC_DIR=C:/opt/ros/melodic/x64/etc/ros

ROS_MASTER_URI=http://localhost:11311

ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=C:\opt\ros\melodic\x64\share

ROS_PYTHON_VERSION=2

ROS_ROOT=C:/opt/ros/melodic/x64/share/ros

ROS_VERSION=1

(Although we are switching localhost to 127.0.0.1 for performance reasons)
