I am a new Arduino user with Win7-64b. The only IDE that I can get Blinky to compile on is V1.0.6.
"exit status -1073741515 Error compiling."
What am I doing wrong?

Here's the last part of the verbose output (same problem occurs if compiling for… UNO):
```

Not much of a clue. I found a bad prototype in a library header file that isn't used by the sketch I was trying to compile, but fixing it didn't change the failure. Ideas?
You can test their solution by renaming your C:\Users{username}\AppData\Local\Arduino15 folder to C:\Users{username}\AppData\Local\Arduino15.bak and then restarting the Arduino IDE, which will recreate that folder.
Thanks! That fixed it…
If someone else has this problem:
It seems attempting to install different versions of the IDE gets the configuration files messed up./AppData/Local/Arduino15
Running the IDE version of your choice will recreate the needed config files
