Tried to compile my first "hello World" with b4a but struggeling with the compiling process.

Connected to my smartphone by the b4a bridge, created a standard template in b4a and just hit F5 to compile.
After some time a get the following dex related error message I'm not able to solve myself:

Code:

You may want to use an export of a zip from you ide. Click file>export as zip> save it to your computer and put it here on the forum with attach files button below when entering message.

Hey Everybody.
Thanks for your help.

@Sagenut I followed every step more then often. Also searched for an installation guide on YT and made every single click the same in my sandbox.

I also tried it on a different system and within a sandboxed windows to be sure that there is no other IDE in conflict with my b4a installation.

This is the exported ZIP file from my freshly started "hello world" project.
