Got a Dragino Yun-shield and therefore needed upgrading of the IDE.
Downloaded version 1.05.8 but there seems to be no way to start it...
Whatever I try I get the error message "Launch4j" .
I have looked around on the forum , finding many others have had
this problem .. and I tried a lot of the solutions proposed:
shutting down Bluetooth and WiFi
Erasing Arduinofolder in My documents + restart
erasing file "Preferences" in folder Application data
Got no answer yet on that question but continued trying another hint from moderator to run a debugsession ... Am not sure I did the right thing but with the aid of the Explorer I found the file arduino_debug.exe , checked properties and from there I could launch this program.
Got the following response :
Exception thread "main" java.lang.
Error: Failed to create temporary file for jnidispatch library: java.io.IOException: Access denied

Well , now have proceeded a little further ... tried before to rename the Java-directory as someone had suggested , but never succeeded until I managed to stop the application "jawaw" by means of the Program administrator - and there were lots of them running ! . Then when launching the IDE again I finally escaped the "Launch4j" error message ... but it was replaced by " this application demands java developement kit 1.6 or higher" . So , finally something new. Downloaded last version of jdk ( 1.8) but then , during installation , got the message that this kit would not run properly on Windows XP ....
Well tried anyway , and of course , got the same Launch4j message again.
Bottom line , I now know there is a problem with Java , but still not if that is because of conflict between
jdk 1.8 and XP , or something else .
