Android Question Configure paths??????

[Malky]

Hi, I have a new laptop and installed the latest update with license etc as a backup. I copied my Additional Libraries folder from my PC to the laptop and when I browse to configure the path and select it, I get a path error message??? Has anything changed in the new version?
I seem to have admin rights etc? Weird.

What error message ?
Where did you copy it ?
Do you have special charaters in the folder name ?

Hi Klaus, nothing at all? I tried it on the C: root to start with (win 7) which gave the same error, so cut and pasted it to the downloads directory?

What Error !!!!!!
Sorry, I don't understand what you have done nor what you you get.

 

[Malky]

I am definitely logged in as Administrator and it doesn't matter where I put the Additional Libraries folder I get the message 'An error occurred. Invalid path.'
Currently pointing to C:\Users\Default\Downloads\B4A\Additional Libraries

Doesn't matter where I place the Additional Libraries folder though???? I've moved it to various places.

I would suggest you do a fresh install of B4A, and don't install the Android SDK on protected directories like Program Files.

There's really no need to have admin rights to run/install B4A.

Hi NJDude, I have done as you suggested and uninstalled/reinstalled B4A and have the same problem? I have attempted again to install in another directory, but that isn't working either????

It must be machine specific as I can change the existing path on my PC no problem and both have B4A 3.82, so the problem is mine.

Thanks for the input guys, I'll struggle on.

Can you post a screenshot of the error message?

 

[Malky]

Hi Erel, I am now in the process of starting from scratch again with the sdk etc although I have java 7 on here and the installation instructions specify Java 6? I can't see how that should affect selecting a path though? Will update in a bit.

Thanks,

Malky

You can use Java 7.

 

[NJDude]

Java 8 also works.

 

[Malky]

Update!!! Although I had already installed B4A and it asked me for the license and seemed happy with it. After re-installing Java SDK, I opened B$A and it asked me for the license again? I supplied the license file and now it works no problem???

I can only imagine a glitch of some sort, but been frustrating, although glad I have my backup now.

Thanks for the input guys, very much appreciated when someone is trying to help.

After my wife decided in her wisdom to swap laptops again, jeez, I have discovered that this was caused by a bad java jdk download. Once I got a new copy and installed, I could modify the path's no problem!
