Arduino-1.0.1 doesn't run

I deiced it was time to start using the latest version Arduino-1.0.1
After the instillation I got the error message "This application requires at least Java development kit 1.5.0"
I followed a link to http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp and downloaded Java and installed it.
I no longer get the error message now instead the Arduino software shows the start screen then vanishes.
The old version 0021 runs fine.
What is the correct process for a successful installation? Where have I gone wrong? :~

I have the same problem, but I"m hesitant on installing anything but the OFFICIAL release. I don't see any error messages, the IDE just goes away after launching it.

What is wrong with the OFFICIAL release- why doesn't it start correctly?

Can we get support with this hacked version?

Please explain.

Thanks

I noticed that all the problems here are always the same, setup, drivers, lags under certain parameters.

The 'hacked' version is just a installer+tweaks, some details and source code is available in http://servicios.ried.cl/arduino/ (excepting the library manager source, because I am still experimenting with this, will be nice to add a complete repository so you type a library or chip code and you instantly get the library :smiley: haha but still it is too much work)

Also I tested the setup in an XP vm and Win7 x64 and x32, so the main idea is to reflect a "perfect" installation in your system, so if you get issues, at least those issues will not be the common ones.
