Hello Botofancalin,

Hello @AndreasMainz . I've had the same problem yesterday. The solution for me was to add the idf.py and Python path in the environment variables.

1. Press on "StartMenu/Windows" button
2. Write "edit the system environment variables" and open it
3. Press on "Environment Variables.." button on the right bottom corner
4. Find the Path system variable and press on "Edit" button.
5. Then add all the paths bellow inside the path variable and you are done !

%IDF_PATH%\tools

I hope this helps.
Regards, Kostas.

Sorry, maybe not clear: I was asking for the file idf.py and not for Setting up the path. The path Setting was well descripted.

Many thanks for a reply.

The idf.py is located on "esp-idf/tools" folder.
To solve your problem, set the correct path to it.
