Arduino.exe start, write initializing packages and closed.

Could you please check if #3015 applies to your problem?

[VladimirKrd]

No, deleting a file does not work

[VladimirKrd]

The program does not show any error messages, it just closes.

[mschlenker]

Would you start it from the command line to check whether Java spills out some errors?

[VladimirKrd]

Of course I can, you need to write in command line?

[ffissore]

Use command prompt and cd into the Arduino IDE folder, then run arduino_debug.exe. It will print stuff: please paste it here

The missing bootloaders/platform.txt looks a bit like a broken install. Would you mind uninstalling and re-installing again?

[VladimirKrd]

Ok. I downloaded the .exe, set does not work. Download *.zip, copied all, does not work. Now reinstall *.exe, and all run! Fiction. Thank you so much for your help, God forbid you well.

You might have a corrupted file system or bad hard drive. So you'd better run CHKDSK on your hard drives now. Have fun. And have a nice weekend!

Hi,
I have the same problem but look in my case please can you help me .

[ffissore]

Please delete file library_index.json from your %APPDATA%\Arduino15\ folder. Then reopen the IDE

[Usef96]

Thank you very very much mister I appreciate your help, have a good day.

Had the same problem because I installed over an old version. Fix was to delete the 'hardware' directory and re-extract it from the original ZIP archive.
