Have you been able to run any sample code successfully?

No I haven't, I also tried the example in the pdf Beginners Guide (MyFirstProgram) with the same result. Also the android stuff is not in Program Files, but in C:/Android.

Hello World

I don't know about Linux. I am sure you set the Configure Paths under the tools menu. Also, there have been some issues on some machines with spaces in the path/directory names. It may be a permissions issue with the directory being used. Just a few things to check.

I got it to work by putting the source files on the C: drive instead of on a Shared Folder (Z. This is a nuisance since C: is within the Virtual Hard Disc, so can only be seen by the Virtual Machine and not by the host operating system. Maybe it is possible to make a short cut to the shared folder in C:, as I believe XP does not support symbolic links.

Edit: The shortcut did not work.

assign the folder

You might try assigning or mapping the folder on c as a new drive letter, then share that new drive.

Thank you Margret for your help. I found a solution by using the program Allway Sync (allwaysync.com). This allows me to sync the folder on the desktop with the folder on the shared (Linux) drive, automatically, so changes in either folder are synced to the other one automatically. Works great and is free. I think I will be buying basic4android soon.
Michael.

Upgraded VirtualBox Guest additions to 4.1.2. This removed the problem, no need for the workaround any more.
Thanks.
