Arduino 2.0 not starting

[petemine]

I.ve tried to load the new 2.0 version but it just shows the startup and hangs. I've tried to disable the virus software(AVG) but it still won't start.

Hi @petemine. Thanks for your report.

I would like to provide you with instructions to gather the necessary information for troubleshooting this problem, but first I need to know which operating system you are using on your computer (e.g., Windows) so that I can give you the right instructions.

I don't get the Arduino app to start. I tried to download it as all users and as just me but when I try to start the Arduino app it shows the start logo but freezes there.

@petemine. Please, let's try to focus this discussion better.

You started out by reporting that Arduino IDE 2.x would not start:

When I tried to help with the investigation you said you had given up on Arduino IDE 2.x and switched the conversation to a completely different subject of a problem you had with Arduino IDE 1.8.19:

@petemine

I'm using Arduino 1.8.19 with the Arduino system loaded into the Microsoft One Cloud. and running from there. I'm trying to compile the camera example with AI-thinker ESP32 cam. The error I get is :
exec: "cmd": executable file not found in %PATH%

When I tried to help with the investigation of that, now you switched the subject back to the problem of the IDE not starting:

@petemine

I don't get the Arduino app to start.

It is starting to feel like this conversation is only a waste of both our time. I would like to help, but we aren't making any progress.

I'm sorry for the confusion. There are two separate problems I posted. One was thyat I could no longer get Arduino 2.0 to start. The other problem was loading my originally working program into web cam module with Arduino 1.8.19.

@petemine. I split the posts about the error while compiling for the ESP32 board into a separate topic here:

`exec: "cmd": executable file not found in %PATH%` when compiling for ESP32

I'm using Arduino 1.8.19 with the Arduino system loaded into the Microsoft One Cloud. and running from there. I'm trying to compile the camera example with AI-thinker ESP32 cam. The error I get is : exec: "cmd": executable file not found in %PATH% Error compiling for board AI Thinker ESP32-CAM. I checked the path and cmd.exe is in multiple places including windows/system

This "Arduino 2.0 not starting" topic can be dedicated exclusively to any further discussion of the problem with starting the Arduino IDE 2.x.
