IDE 1.6.3 will not open in windows

Development Tools IDE 1.x

After I updated to IDE 1.6.3, I have not been able to open the program. The start up screen comes on as it does its thing then it all crashes. I ran the debug program and I pasted the response. Please go easy on me, I'm green, and its my first post.

Windows? go to c:\users\username\AppData\Roaming\arduiono15 and delete the folder. Then try again. The folder will get recreated on startup, but if the existing version is corrupt the IDE won't load. It's a cheap and dirty first step, and your issues might not have anything to do with this, but it can't hurt.

Thank you Barry914.
I could not find the file that you mentioned. I am running windows 7, I dont know if you assumed that or not. I made it as far as c:\users\username\ but that is where the trail went cold. I also did a search for arduinono15 but nothing turned up.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program a couple of times and I have even tried the nightly builds. nothing is working. I am beginning to wonder if I have something wrong with my computer.
I am willing to try any suggestions.

You were almost there. "username" is your username, of course. look for AppData, and Roaming under that. I'm running Win7 too. It's there, do a search of the entire C drive if you have to

Just to clarify, I did use my own user name. After that there was no AppData file, even after searching the entire drive. I found a couple other appdata file names that were for other programs, but not the link that was mentioned.
I did get a new computer (it was time) and everything is working well. I think that the software on my old computer is corrupt, I plan on striping it down and reloading windows on it so I have a viable backup unit.
When I complete that task, I will update this post in case anybody else has the same issue.

Did you notice the typo in your earlier response? The filename was misspelled.
