Android Question B4A Won't Launch

[Setlodi]

Hi there good fellow developers

My Windows computer crashed and I reinstalled Windows 11. I have installed B4A and followed the installation to the T. I have downloaded and unzipped OpenJDK 19 + OpenJFX in the c:\Java folder. I have also downloaded and unzipped commandlinetools-win-13114758_latest and resources_7_25 in the c:\Android folder using 7.zip. Then I downloaded and installed B4A. I have Java SE 8 running. Now when I click on B4A to run it, I see the B4A logo with a back background and then it disappears. There is nothing showing in the task manager. I'm so frustrated as this is not the first time I install B4A and I have never experienced such a problem. I have restarted my computer numerous time with no luck.

Please can you assist me...

Note that all of the additional resources (Java, Android SDK, ...) are not relevant. The IDE should start without them.

Make sure that B4A isn't running. Check it with the Task Manager.

Delete the ini file - b4xV5.ini : C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Anywhere Software\Basic4android

Try to run again.

Thanks for your reply Erel. I can't find the ini file in: C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\Anywhere Software\Basic4android

In fact the whole folder doesn't exist under \Roaming

Looks like it completely failed to start.

You can try to run it with logs enabled: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/intermittent-error-message.9047/#post-50478
Try to install B4J and see whether it works.

B4J doesn't work as well. However, because I needed to finish updating my apps quickly, I installed a virtual machine in my laptop and both B4A and B4J runs. Unfortunately I don't have time to do other tests.
