Question with the ivreghdfe command

[mengzhang9299]

I am using the ivreghdfe command, which does not work and says "option requirements not allowed".
I tried to update the command manually with following code:
cap ado uninstall ftools
cap ado uninstall reghdfe
cap ado uninstall ivreghdfe
net install ftools, from(c:\git\ftools)
net install reghdfe, from(c:\git\reghdfe)
net install ivreghdfe, from(c:\git\ivreghdfe)
However, the error continues.

Same issue here. The command has been working fine until I did an OS reinstall and refresh of all programs. I suspect I had an older version of one or more of the required programs, and a newer version is the issue.

I find that the ivreghdfe works well with the older version of reghdfe such as version 5X. I tried to uninstall the old packages first by running:
ado dir ivreghdfe
ado uninstall [109]
Note: there may be several packages installed, I tried to uninstall them one by one. And I do the same for ftools, reghdfe, ivreg2.

Second, I run:
search reghdfe5
and then I clicked the link and installed the package from http://fmwww.bc.edu/repec/bocode/i.
