aiStarter not running

I have installed aiStarter (win XP) without changing anything. But when i try to run it, there is an error message that says that the application has a problem and it has to be stopped. More informations:  "AppName: aistarter.exe  AppVer: 0.0.0.0  ModName: aistarter.exe

ModVer: 0.0.0.0  Offset: 00007fee"

Can you help me with this;

Something appears wrong with the version number Dionisis.   Did you install/download from this link: Installing and Running the Emulator in AI2 ?

Then you should have gone, in Part 2 of the instructions gone,  to the Windows link (because you have Xp) here  Installing App Inventor 2 Setup on Windows

What version of aiStarter did you download?   It should be the one here  

1. Download the installer.

and will be named something like AppInventor_Setup_Installer_v_2_1.exe  or 2.2 or so.  Is that the version of aistarter.exe you used?

Check if aistarter is in the correct directory...on my Win7 PC it is here, on your Xp PC it will be in a different location.

Did you install to the default location?   If you did not, do not use the uninstall.exe if you got it on a different drive (the uninstaller will, in that case, uninstall everything in the folder it is located in).

Thank you Steve for your answer.

I'm sure that i've done everything right. I followed all the instructions. I' ve tried again and again but it doesn't work. I give up. I will try something else more easy for my students.

OK, sorry AI is not working for you....   Somewhere, you probably did NOT do something right or there is a hardware issue.

If you end up programming for Windows (instead of for Android), may I suggest something called Lazarushttp://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/  ... it is Pascal language based object oriented programming for Windows.  It is free and interesting enough it is now for Android too ....check it out. http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Portal:Android     Interesting, I did not know they added an Android capability.

I just got up and running and it would not work on one machine but I tried another and it worked..... you figure!

Great.  Could you explain "it would not work on one machine but I tried another and it worked.?"   Does this now mean that it AI2 and the emulator is successfully running on both your PC both from home and at Stanford?

What did you do to make it work on the new PC?  Thanks.
