Missing "Manage embedded package".

Hello.

I installed a new version of the IDE, exactly this:

st-stm32cubeide_2.1.1_28236_20260312_0043_x86_64

The problem is that the menu option "Manage embedded packages" is missing:

I checked this on two computers with Windows 10.

During the installation, there were no error messages.

What can be done about this?

Hello @xx111 

STM32CubeMX 6.17.0 is no longer integrated into STM32CubeIDE 2.1.1. Instead, the two tools are now interoperable.

For more details , please check the following LINKs:

    But does that mean I don't necessarily have to install packages in CubeIDE?

    I'm talking about packages like STM32CubeU5.

    It seemed logical for me that since the libraries contain Low-Layer APIs and CMSIS, they would be more needed by  CubeIDE than by MX.

    But I see that I was mistaken.

    Yes: the packages are used by CubeMX - not directly by CubeIDE.

    CubeIDE deals only with source files - it neither knows nor cares whether they came from ST (as a "Pack", via CubeMX), or from the user.

    A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.
