Arduino 1.0.6 on a Windows 10 64 bit machine

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

Hello Folks,

I am new to this forum, and Arduino for that matter. I have downloaded a sketch that was written with Arduino 1.0.6. I came to this site and downloaded and installed 1.0.6. However, when attempting to run the program, a window popped up saying "Install4j An error occurred while starting the application." What did I do wrong? Will 1.0.6 run on a Windows 10 64 bit machine? If I have to use a newer version of Arduino will it be backwards compatible with a sketch written in 1.0.6? Any help would be appreciated.

Thank in advance,

Chris

Sketches written for 1.0.6 should work with new versions of the ide

Thank you for the quick reply. I will see if I can get 1.8.5 to work.

OK. So I downloaded and installed 1.8.5, but when I try to open it, I get the startup screen, tell me it is initializing, starting up and then nothing. NOW what did I do wrong?

Run arduino_debug.exe (which is located in the Arduino IDE installation folder) from the command line and then post the output here using code tags (</> button on the toolbar).

FWIW, I didn't have any trouble running 1.0.6 on a W10-64 system...

I wager that whatever is keeping 1.0.6 from working is also keeping 1.8.5 from working. Do as pert says to get the debugging info we'd need to help you sort this out.

Here is what debug came back with:

And it started :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

However, when I go to verify the sketch here is what I get.:

If it's located in the folder instead of installed as a library (like that code was expecting it to be), you need to put the file name in quotes not angle-braces. Why not install the library normally?
