Bug? Debugger not starting

[xmayeur]

Hello,
After compiling in debug mode, debugger does not start and the following message is displayed
In release mode, there is no issue.
Is it any interference with B4A installation?

It is not related to Basic4android. It might be a firewall issue which blocks the connection. Can you try to run it with the firewall temporary disabled?

Even so, I have still the error message.
What ports/connections am I supposed to open? and why should the debugger pass through those connections?
BTW, I am running Windows 8.1 & Norton 360

The debugger creates a local network connection in order to communicate with the running process. In most cases firewalls do not block such connections as these are local connections.

You should open the following ports: 59812, 8937 and 8938.

I tried this also, but it still does not work. With unblocked-ports firewall or with no firewall at all, same message.
Is it a way to debug the debugger and find out where it blocks?

You can run b4j with -log parameter. It will write error messages to c:\temp\log.txt. Please try to run the debugger and then upload the log file.

I solved the issue, but don't explain why.
B4J was installed on another drive than Basic4Android. I've desinstalled B4J and re-install it in the same drive than Basic4android and it works now.

I had the same problem since I installed B4J on my new Windows 8 laptop on D: drive.

First I removed it from D: and installed on C: but it was still the same.
When I launched B4J with -log option it closed without message. I needed to create C:\Temp folder to make it launch. Now it seems to work correctly.

C:\Temp is only required when you run B4J with -log.
