I downloaded the desktop IDE and ran the install. It all looked OK at first sight.  
However: I have to click the icon several times before the program starts end sometimes it doesn’t start at all.

When I can start and run the tutorial I have “A JavaScript Error at the main process”. (see screenshot)  
Cannot figure out what it is I do wrong…?

After that: I cannot upload because an upload is ongoing – the one with the error presumably. I do not see where or how to stop that.

I have Windows 10/64 bit. ![JavaScript%20Error%20al%20Upload](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/xod/original/2X/b/bc001971fe0084c01e5ffc5caee5ca4024adcd9d.jpeg)

Ran the install program “Start as admin”.  
Still the same result. Both havng to click several times + the JavaScript error.  
I did not restart my PC. Should I?

I also notice that eveytime I “start” the XOD IDE (or try to) 2 background porcesses are started. However: I see no IDE.

Used iobit-Uninstaller  
Cleaned REG with TrashReg

Still same results and observations.

I give up. Looked a very handy and useful tool but it’s just too much hassle.  
Thanks for the help and your patience.

It’s sad to hear XOD hasn’t taken off on your machine. The error is a JavaScript stack trace (do not confuse JavaScript and Java) and it looks like some our bug. I can’t understand why ever do you see the dialog popped up, maybe it’s a part of the puzzle.

Will try to guess what’s gone wrong. Thank you for the report.

@jover just released v0.28.2 with the fix of this problem.  
Download the latest version of IDE (or just update it) and check it out 🙂

If you have any problems, feel free to report.  
Thanks!
