Can you post all of the compilation text message?

Thanks. Is it possible that there is no free memory available?
I will send you by mail an updated version that may give more information.

My apologies. I left this argument in the version I sent you (I added to try and reproduce the error message).
Can you please download the file from the same link again?

This was helpful. Apparently you are out of memory. I've uploaded another file which sets the initial heap size to a lower value. You will be shown a msgbox asking if you want it set to 64mb (yes) or 32mb(no). Lets see if it will work.
Even if it work, it may fail in the next step.
Can you also check the amount of available RAM (under task manager)?

ok, now I received the msgbox asking 64 and I accepted with yes.
Now I receiving following message

Compiling generated Java code. Error
Could not create the Java virtual machine.

and when I accept msgbox with NO then I receive this message

First thank you for your time.
Two more things that worth trying is:
- Open the ini file which is located under:
C:\Users\<Your user name>\AppData\Roaming\Anywhere Software\Basic4android
Change this line:
MaxRamForDex=1024

To a lower value:
MaxRamForDex=256

Note that you must do this change when Basic4android is closed. Otherwise it will override the change when it gets closed (and it reads it only when it opens).

- Second thing to try is to restart the computer and see if it works (don't even run the emulator).

Erel, now it works perfect. Thank you very much for your help.
When I get the next version or I do a reinstallation of b4a, do I have
to remember change the ini file ?

 

[Erel]

Great.

You will probably won't need to do anything.
Can you please reinstall the formal version and see if it works? The one you are running included an additional change.

Erel, I've uninstalled b4a and have checked that the folder realy delete under program files.
After I have executed again the original setup.exe and now the compilation process works still correct. But I haven't deleted the user folder with the ini file.

 

[Erel]

This is fine. I wanted to make sure that changing the max ram setting was the only required action (as the customized version I sent you included another modification).

Dear Erel,

I updated b4a to 5.8 but I am living same problem. I have changed MaxRamForDex=256 but still getting same message:

B4A version: 5.80
Parsing code. (0.04s)
Compiling code. (0.13s)

Compiling debugger engine code. Error
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

Error occurred during initialization of VM

What is your suggestions, what can I do?

Thanks from now.
