Launch4j error - IDE won't start - Please HELP!!

Using Arduino IDE 1.x
22

Hi,

I've just taken delivery of a DUE (This is my first time with Arduino)

I'm experiencing a problem similar to this thread with the IDE showing the splash screen momentarily on start up and then closing.

I've done virtually everything suggested in this thread and am lost for any other clues.

Summary:

  • Win7 64 bit
  • Downloaded IDE 1.5.2 (Never had Arduino installed previously)
  • Installed Com port drivers successfully, with DUE connected by USB to programming port.
  • Double click Arduino.exe in extracted files directory
  • PROBLEM - The splash screen shows for few seconds and closes.

Attempted remedies;

  1. Extracted IDE v1.5.2 to a shorter path directory - Problem still exists
  2. Tried manually setting com port number to com1, com2 (Was something hi like com19 ) - Problem still exists
  3. Tried deleting the preferences.txt file - Problem still exists
  4. Updated Java 32 bit and Java 64 bit - Problem still exists
  5. Tried executing Arduino.exe as administrator - Problem still exists
  6. Tried installing and executing from a different account on same PC - Problem still exists
  7. Tried IDE V1.0.4 - Problem still exists
  8. Tried IDE "arduino-0023". This loads and seems to work
  9. Exexuted from command line with "arduino.exe --l4j-debug" - Problem still exists with output below.

Has anyone else experinced this or know of a solution? Perhaps there's something I've missed
