Has anyone been able to run the 1.5.1r2 ide on vista? I understand that it is still beta and might have a few bugs but when i try to run it i get a launch4j dialog with the message "An error occurred while starting the application." all the time. I have no issues with 1.0.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Deleting the preferences.text from this path C:\Users<User>\AppData\Roaming\Arduino d8id nothing. I still encountered the same error.
Below is the contents of the launch4j.log file after running D:\arduino-1.5.1r2\arduino.exe --l4j-debug from the command line.

Hope this gives somebody a clue.
Version 1.5 is working on Vista - at least blink successfully uploaded. So, i guess the fix on 1.5.1r2 does not work for Vista.
