This is almost certainly a problem with the Windows 7 application
authentication stuff. You may have to try
"running as" an Admin user.

damn just by trying different stuff i end up turning off my wifi and bluetooth
card and BIM it worked...
ok clearly weird issue but seems to be a real conflict between the java SE binary platform and arduino compilation when wireless is on for win 7...nothing to go with authentification i can sware

I solved my problem a long time ago, and I think I had to run as administrator,
as clvrmnky said. Thanks.
I have no wifi on that machine.

I have the same problem, when I turn my wireless off it starts, when it's on it
doesnt.
Any fixes for this issue?

For those that have reported this problem and it is resolved by turning off
your wireless, would you first try the latest version of if IDE along with
updating to the latest wireless drivers/utilities? Then if the problem still
exists report what kind of wireless you have along with versions of drivers and
configuration utility. If it's an OEM vs generic type of wireless driver,
report the OEM name where the drivers could be downloaded and OS version.

same issue here, Launch4J error window pops up after about a minute of
inactivity when you try to launch the application (during this time the splash
screen is displayed). then for the next 20 seconds or so the application seems
to have crashed, before the main window appears and all is well.
this is on an eMachines EM-350 netbook, no unusual hardware or anything else,
stock winXP with SP3 as shipped by eMachines. no bluetooth, and the problem
still occurs even if wireless is turned off.
is there a 'trace' build of the audino application available that will output a
running log of what it is doing to a console window, or any log files that can
be checked to see where it gets stuck for that minute?
would be more than happy to help the developers by running a test version of
the application that is set up to capture required info.
cheers,
rob :-)

i have now found a solution - at least a solution that works in my case. turn
off anti-virus software. i'm running Panda Anti-Virus, and with it enabled the
arduino IDE causes a massive storm of file accesses from the anti-virus process
(PSANHost.exe) for several minutes while the IDE is trying to start up. i also
get a launch4j error popup.
if i turn off Panda Anti-Virus, then the IDE starts up normally, taking around
40 seconds for the edit window to open, and NO launch4j popup.
please do give this a try, and report back here on your success or otherwise.

Hi,
same problem here (arduino-0022).
Problem started after using a Bluetooth stick. Removed stick -> Arduino works.
Bluetooth driver is "Generic Bluetooth Radio".

Started having this issue since update 22 on Windows Vista 64 machine.
Problem not seen on versions 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21.
"Run as admin" does not solve the problem.
Removing Bluetooth does not solve the problem.
Deleting preferences.txt does not solve the problem.
I noticed I end up with a lot of javaw.exe*32 entries in task manager, after
several attempts at running arduino and getting the "Launch4j: An error
occurred whilst starting the application" dialogue box popup then dismissing it.
Killing these "hung" processes and re-running does not cure the issue.
It is very inconsistent. Yesterday it was working on and off. Today it is not,
even after a reboot. Now arduino-21 also no longer works. This one just
disappears with no error messages, or task bar entry. Nothing in the Windows
(Vista 64) event logs.
It takes over a minute, from launch, for the Launch4j error to popup. All COM
ports (all two of them - COM1 phys rs232 and COM2 usb - since I removed BT) are
fine and working normally.
Any logs I should be looking at, or debugging trace options?

Hi, i was having the same issue with a Dell E1505, and it fixed by disabling
Dell 355 Bluetooth 2.1 Dongle from Device Manager.

The solution to this problem, for me, was given here:
http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1237179908
Basically, it involves replacing the rxtxSerial.dll in the Arduino folder with
the version in the aforementioned linked thread. Windows serial port
enumeration is the issue. Seems Windows has a habit of not recycling serial
port device designators and you might have as many as 70 or more (as I did)
defunct COMxxs. This happens with things like repeated Bluetooth driver
reinstalls, etc.

I ran into the same problem on my Acer Aspire 1810 TZ. Disabling Bluetooth with
the hardware switches solved it.

Another possible cause:
If you've built the IDE from source then extracted the resulting .zip with
cygwin's unzip, the .exe and .dll files won't have "execute" permissions.
You can fix the permissions with:
find . -iname \*.exe -o -iname \*.dll -exec chmod +x {} \;

I'm facing the same problem on Win 7 (64-bit) with Arduino 1.0.1
When I click on arduino.exe the application takes ages to load up and then just
freezes up. I've disabled bluetooth as advised, but thats not helped.
Any other suggestions?

quick update:
Comment #14 - http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1237179908
This fix worked for me!! Whew, after several days I'm again able to use my
Arduino IDE. Thank you for providing the rxtxSerial.dll fix.

After upgrading to 1.0.1 I'm getting "Launch4J": "An error occured while
starting the application" message.
Replacing DLL from http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1237179908
does not solve the problem.
Running as Administrator does not solve the problem.
Changing all files rights to All does not solve the problem.
Fresh install of 1.0 starts OK as expected.

bartosz: any chance your computer is in Polish? There's a bug in the Polish
translation that causes 1.0.1 to crash. See issue 942 for details.

I'm sorry so many people are having trouble getting the Arduino software to
run. Unfortunately, because this can be caused by a bunch of different things,
it doesn't really make sense as an issue here. If you're having trouble
getting the software to run, please post on the troubleshooting forum
(http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/board,2.0.html). As you identify specific
bugs that are causing the problem, please open new issues for them so we can
fix them. Thanks!

The error mentioned here has probably to do with the inability to access data
in the appdata folder. Have any of you recently had a Ransomware problem by any
chance?
This should fix the starting problem for most people with Win7 and Vista(XP
same but different paths):
- Go to C:\Users\(your username)\AppData
- Right-click the Roaming folder => Properties => make all files and folders
hidden => Apply (this will take 15 seconds) => OK
- Now reverse the process: Right-click the "Roaming" folder => Properties =>
make all files and folders NOT hidden => Apply (this will take 15 seconds) => OK
Now arduino should start, if it doesn't:
- Repeat the process for the "LocalLow" and "Local" folder in AppData
- Make sure the 3 folders in "AppData" are not read only.
Hope this works for you to.

hi , just had the same problem with this message:
message: "Launch4J": "An error occured while starting the application"
the solution was to delete this file:
C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Arduino\preferences.txt
works like a charm !
