I've the same problem on two Windows 7 x64 SP1 machines. IDE hangs on 
splashscreen and after a minute the error appears: 

Launch4j
An error occurred while starting the application.

Hmm, what language/locale is your computer in?

Can you try running Java directly instead of using the arduino.exe?  It should 
be something like:

D:\arduino-1.0.1\java\bin\javaw.exe   -Xms128m -Xmx128m -classpath 
"lib;D:\arduino-1.0.1\java\lib\tools.jar;lib\pde.jar;lib\core.jar;lib\jna.jar;li
b\ecj.jar;lib\RXTXcomm.jar" processing.app.Base

That might provide a more useful error message.

I have observe this bug on 3 differents systems:
1. Win 7 64bit - locale Polish - for this system I submit a issue 921
2. Win 7 32bit - locale english
3. WinXP 32bit - locale english
So, it looks like this bug is independent of windows version.
I run with java.exe because javaw.exe is command which is not associated with 
console window. Look at logs in attach.

Based on the exception that you're getting, I think this is a duplicate of 
issue 942.  It looks like the SimpleDateFormat string is wrong and I think only 
the Polish translation has an "r" in it.  Or do you get a different error 
message / exception on the other computers?

I just started having the Launch4j problem, and an inability to use the Tools 
menu (app locked up for 20+ seconds).
Followed the information in: http://www.johngineer.com/blog/?p=97

The updated rtxSerial.dll seemed to do the trick. Immediate launch of the app, 
and Tools once again was usable.
