This is the ErrorMessage:

Now I cleaned all and did a reinstall. I still get an error, but no more at compiling. It’s a update Error:

esptool.py v2.6

Connecting….

A fatal error occurred: Timed out waiting for packet header
I think, the problem is, that the board is in ‘micropython’-Mode and needs factoryReset

Hi Joseph.
Usually, when the board is with micropython firmware, you can upload an Arduino code without any problems.
Did you press the on-board RST button right after clicking the Arduino IDE update button?
If you want to perform a factory reset, you can follow this discussion: https://rntlab.com/question/how-perform-reset-factory-esp32/
I hope this helps.

Great!
I’ll close this question. If you need further help, you just need to open a new question in our forum.

HELP! I broke something. Using ArdIDE. Win10 ESP32 WROOM
Everything was working fine. Then I started getting an error about 2 different WiFi.h files. I don’t think I changed anything or loaded a new wifi.h intentionally.
Reverted to a prior abc.ino and it won’t compile either, same error. This points to something in the IDE or Win.
I found this post and have been chasing some of the links. I don’t think this is an ESP32 device issue.
I changed the name of one of the wifi.h files so it is no longer an error. But now I’m getting
fork/exec C:\Users\iabar\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\esp32\tools\esptool_py\2.6.1/esptool.exe: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.
Error compiling for board ESP32 Dev Module.
I’ve not changed anything in the libs or tools. I also don’t know where esptool.exe originally came from. Possibly installed when ESP was added to the IDE. Can’t even seem to locate a source on the web to download it. I know Python is now well beyond 2.6.1 but unwilling to update that without knowing more.
Trying to resist digging the hole deeper. (8-(

Just discovered that esptool.exe had a dir entry, but the file length was ZERO. 00000000000000000
That’s not good.
I was able to copy the file from my laptop over to the main PC and things are working.
Guess I need to do a backup more often.

Hi Barry.
Is your issue already solved?
It seems a problem related to your Arduino IDE installation???
