* 1.0.3 20121213: Fully updated to official 1.0.3 version (but keeping all the awesomeness, new JDK, new WinAVR/avrdude, etc). Changed the protocol of the mega2560 to avoid some issues with the updated avrdude. Added a light version without Java.
About WinAVR version, etc. I am not sure about avrdude 5.11 version yet, I only found ancient 2008 files in the Official package so I kept my updated ones. Maybe is the conf file?
yes, I know but what I don't understand is how is the 1.0 contains something updated if there is only ancient winavr stuff inside. Maybe I am confused with the relation with avrdude-winavr, I got the last package of winavr and tweaked the IDE to make it work. I can't find a newer version and for me winavr includes avrdude. So I left the previous files since in the last official package the 'tools' files are 2008-2009
Thank you very much for sending me the new Arduino ERW 1.0.3. It works fine with no mixed menu language pull down. I am a newbie in Arduino. Once again, thank you.
Can you capture the screen with the error? does it pops after the installation? Can you describe your machine? Windows version, what happens with the official one that drove you to try this mod, etc
Are you launching the IDE from the start menu? or launching the previous version?
What version did you installed? the FULL or the one that says no-java ?
I know installing .Net is not fun, but it is usually already installed by Windows Update and it makes the development of certain enhancements much easier.
Yes, the error message is because there is something wrong with java. The other thing you can try is installing java, and downloading the version without java. But your problem is very strange.
(Cute how they go in program files\arduino...... rather than just in program files..... how I have the other two.)
Took a bit of finding.
Installed the NON-JAVA version. Same problem.
It just gives up on me. Same error.
(I put in in a similar path but appended NO JAVA to the end, so I have both versions installed.)
