Android Question Compile Error on version 2.71

[redbeardrob]

How do you fix heap space errors in version 2.71 running on Windows 7 Pro?
I cannot locate the "ini" file discussed in previous threads to edit the dexer. I have already increased the allotted memory for Java itself.

B4a will only switch to the Standard dexer one out of 100 times, which has stalled progress completely on my project:

You need to edit the ini file and increase MaxRamForDex value: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/optimized-hex-out-of-memory-error.41917/#post-252722

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
That link pointed me to manually typing the file path in the browser to find the file, which was the step that had kept the ini file hidden from me.
