Freezing with "Please wait" never-ending loop (64-bit compiler on Windows 7 64-bit issue)

[DinyaZ]

Describe the bug
I have installed the Webview2 runtime, then unzipped the newest twBasic, but when I try to open the demo apps, it doesnt happen, comes a neverending loop instead.
Important, look at the three red error messages, which comes even before I select anything.
I cant start a new project, the same "pleasewait".
Only CTRL-ALT-DEL helps to close the twinBasic

Expected behavior

1. Load and run the program normally
2. To be able to change the original setups, for example 64bit checkbox, etc, which came up only for the very first time
3. To be able to cancel this neverending "pleaswait"

Screenshots
See attached!

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows7 64Bit
• twinBASIC 0.15.2

Update: it works now!
.
The "Starts in 64-bit Mode" option was the problem! Without this option checked, it can load the demo apps!
.
How could I uncheck it, because the IDE freezes all the time? As a workaround, when I selected the Browse option and then the Cancel, the IDE began working, and I could use the Tools/IDE Options menu item.
.
.
THE NEW IDE IS VERY PROMISING!!

Thanks for the report, and the update @DinyaZ In the current beta, there's not much error checking in this area. The freeze when the compiler is crashing will soon be detected and reported rather than freezing like this.

I will have to install Windows 7 64-bit to try to reproduce the problem with the 64-bit compiler, so it might take some time for me to fix that.

Just letting you know that I've now installed Win 7 x64 and reproduced this issue, so expect a fix later this week.

This is now fixed in IDE BETA 24. Thanks for reporting!
