Hello, Trying to install the Arduino IDE for use with an ESP8266. I downloaded and installed 1.8.5 from arduino.cc. When I went to run Arduino nothing happened. Checking task manager I found it did start but then ended shortly later. I found where you can run arrduino_debug.exe from the forums …

Java Platform SE stopped on Win 7

Thanks!
