Can anybody help me to install arduino IDE on a Windows 10 machine 64 bit.I tried many times with a lot of version but always a RED X window appears that says Arduino can not run because can't create a folder to store the Sketchbook.I have read many posts in forum about preferences.txt

in lib directory exist the preferences.txt and has the follow inside:
but you can't change this txt file.
Please has anybody the same problem to help Me?

stamvs:

That's not the location of the preferences.txt file you want to edit. The one you want is located at (on Arduino IDE 1.6.6 or newer):
C:\Users{your username}\AppData\Local\Arduino15

  • Open preferences.txt in a text editor
  • find the line "sketchbook.path=" and make sure it points to a valid folder for your sketchbook.
  • Save the file
  • Try starting the Arduino IDE again.

the Arduino 15 folder is empty.There isn't any file inside this forder.

OK, maybe there's a permissions error preventing the Arduino IDE from writing to that folder. You might be able to get it working by running the Arduino IDE as administrator but that shouldn't be necessary. You could try running the Arduino IDE in portable mode by creating a folder named portable in the Arduino IDE installation folder.

nothing .I tried to run IDE as administrator but the same issue! Arduino can not run because it can not create a folder to save the sketchbook.Something else must be.Nobody knows what happen?

Just a quick and maybe not linked question.

Which IDE version ?

or

CREATE the online version ?

If its the latter a new minor issue was discovered with a red X but there is a very simple work around for it.

Stick with Pert to cover your regular version first !

Dont want to get you playing with two IDE's until you know a little more.

Did you try running in portable mode?
