I am getting some error on running rosdep install:

rosdep install --from-paths ./src --ignore-src -r -y --rosdistro galactic 
ERROR: the following packages/stacks could not have their rosdep keys resolved to system dependencies:

I would really recommend to not use -r in these command lines. It's just going to give the impression rosdep actually did something useful, while in reality it just ran into errors and gave up.

Then it merrily prints:

Continuing to install resolvable dependencies...
#All required rosdeps installed successfully

and if you don't pay attention, it's almost as-if things are ok ..

There is no package manager on Windows. Unfortunately that means that rosdep cannot work there either as it relies on using a package manager to install the dependencies. The Windows installation instructions don't use rosdep they will be used by Linux and other platforms.

Which installation method did you use?

I am seeing a similar issue. I'm assuming you mean the installation of rosdep? I installed rosdep using the instructions provided here. At first I had installed using an administrator command prompt, but I uninstalled and tried again using a regular command prompt and I'm still getting the same error.

Thank you for the reply - I meant which installation method of ROS2 did you use. Did you use a chocolatey package, condaforge, etc?

I followed the Windows 10 Galactic Installation Instructions exactly as they are described (using chocolatey).

The issue in this post actually came up because I was trying to resolve an issue that I ran into when following the instructions for the ROS2 install. The issue I ran into is described here, where someone suggests manually installing Eclipse DDS as a workaround. The manual installation of Eclipse DDS, which requires rosdep, is where I ran into the issue described by the OP of this post.

Thanks for your help!

Hello again, it seems I was able to fix my ROS2 installation issue, as I don't think I ever even needed to install Eclipse DDS manually. I guess this issue with rosdep still stands, but is no longer consequential for me in this instance.
