I have a fresh download of the IDE, completely unmodified. When I try to start it via arduino.exe I get

At the top it says "Error building "Software Serial". Nothing will work after this. Any ideas?

I too am using Windows Vista (32 bit) and am having similar problems.  Interestingly, when i first downloaded and installed arduino I had loads of errors that came up immediately.  I updated to the lastest JAVA runtimes, and now the program arduino launches without problems.  It is not until i try and compile or upload a sketch that the following error messages appear (repeated over and over):

Has anyone found a solutino for this? Or is this a know Vista problem?

[Reply #2 on:]

I'm getting the same errors when trying to upload a sketch under 32bit Vista.

[Reply #3 on:]

I' also have get the same errors when trying to upload a sketch under 32bit Vista (french edition), but I found a solution.  

   1. Open Windows Explorer.
   2. Locate arduino.exe
   3. Right click arduino.exe and click the Properties option.
   4. Select the Compatibility tab.
   5. Select the Run This Program in Compatibility Mode option.
   6. From the drop-down list, choose the operating system you ran before upgrading to Vista, (Windows XP SP2 in my case).
   7. If necessary, select the option to run the program as an administration. (Not necessary on my computer)
   8. Click OK.

This method is available for a lot of executables created for Win XP.

This didnt work for me. To fix it I had to install WinAVR over the ones they supplied with arduino, delete their version, and copy over uisp.exe.


Someone should really update the zip files to the newer WinAVR version.

[Reply #5 on:]

I am also getting errors with Vista - I am using 0009 - it works fine on XP.  I couldn't even get it to load without error until I set the run in compatibility mode and updated winavr.  At this point I can not get the files to upload to the board, I am getting assembly error.  Here are the results with verbose set ( BTW, I also tried changing TEMP to windows temp with the same errors).

I'm not sure where that info came from - as you can see it was trying to send the object file to one of my networked computers "XP1".

Here is the correct info:
