Problem while trying to get the sketchbook

reynoldstom

Hello,

Having downloaded Processing 3.8 on Windows 7, opening the .exe file for the first time gives the error:

'Problem while trying to get the sketchbook'

The program doesn't run, and I can't find a sketchbook folder anywhere.

I've run the launch4j log file, and it gives the following:

Thanks in advance for any help.

I had the same problem...I created a new windows account and execute processing in it, it ran properly and i downloaded the required modes and libraries. I switched back to my main account and copied the Processing folder from new user acc documents to my current user documents. I also set processing.exe and javaw.exe to trusted appln in my antivirus sw. It worked for me.
