We are about to switch to a new forum software. Until then we have removed the registration on this forum.
Hello everyone,
I am running processing 2.1 x86 on windows 7 x64. I wrote a sketch to acquire some data generated on an arduino. I am using the serial class (hence why I use the 32bit release of processing).
The first rev of my code, works fine, I exported it and the .exe is working flawlessly. I made some slight modification to it to allow the user to select the com port where the arduino is connected. My main goal is to be able to run the app on a win xp machine. I saved and exported my last rev of the sketch and since then the exe does not start anymore (but the sketch runs perfectly when started from processing).
I am quite lost as I did not make any major modifications (no files are loaded, text uses the default font, etc) and I do not know how I could start to debug it.
Is there any way to check why the exe does not start?
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks a lot
Florian

Hi all,
I found the "solution". I was using processing 2.1 to do this. I tried and went back to the previous release (2.03) and now the exported exe is running fine (I did not change anything in the code)
It seems there might be something wrong with the new release.
Hope this help
Florian
It seems to be a known issue with Windows 7.
