Android Question Windows 8.1 update and error

[Graham]

Last night I updated to Windows 8.1. I get the error below. B4A was working great on the original version of Windows 8. I already know some asking why in the hell would I do the upgrade? I am asking myself the same thing. Hopefully I can sort out this error.

What is the full path to your B4A installation?

Some of the Android SDK tools fail when there is a space in the path. This is solved by calling a native Windows API named GetShortPathName. This method returns the "dos version" of the path. On some computers this method fails. In this case you will need to install Android SDK and Basic4android in a path without spaces (c:\b4a).

C:\Program Files (x86)\Anywhere Software\Basic4android

This same path worked before installing 8.1

I will try the API

Thank you

I had the same problem when I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 8. I moved everything to the root of the drive ie;

C:\Android
C:\Basic4Android
C:\Java

No problems after I did that. Ive not upgraded to 8.1 yet.
