When i try opening the app it crashes, i saw cmd open up and close for a short time and nothing happens afterwards

  1. Install
  2. Open
  3. wait for the cmd to open for a short period of time ( less then a second)
  4. See error

Expected behavior Open the app

Crash log / Project files I dont get any

@bajoP First did you use the installer?
I log everything in the builder so if the folder GUIsliceBuilder/logs is empty then it sounds like the environment variable JAVE_HOME isn't set correctly.

anyway, open a terminal cmd window using cmd.exe first enter 

echo %JAVE_HOME%

In my case this is C:\jdk1.8.0_192 if you are reusing Arduino's IDE Java than it would be something like C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\java If that looks ok enter

%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java -version

You should get something like

java version "1.8.0_192"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_192-b12)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.192-b12, mixed mode)

If you read our wiki for the installation you will note we require Java 1.8 not any higher although I have used it with Java 11 without issue.

If all of this is good then cd to the GUIsliceBuilder installation folder for example:

cd C:\Program Files (x86)\GUIsliceBuilder

then try running the Builder directly using this command

%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java -jar lib\builder-0.15.b005.jar

assuming you are using 0.15.b005 otherwise look inside the lib folder for the full name of the jar file. now just check for whatever error is reported.
