Teensyduino ide installation issue

[Redgeneral]

Hi

I just installed teensyduino, only for it to start with error messages and rest of gui invisible. GUI elements only became visible when the mouse went over them.

Initial startup of teensduino:


Error Messages (screenshot taken after mouse on all gui elements to make them visible)



Prior to installing the teensyduino, the arduio ide started without these errors and all gui visible.

System Details:

Teensyduino version: 1.45
Arduino IDE version: 1.8.8
OS: Windows 10 home
Arduino Location: D:\additional apps\arduino-1.8.8
Arduino has portable folder setup see: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/PortableIDE
Teensyduino was installed with WIFI off and antivirus turned off
Teensy LC has not yet been inserted due to ide errors

Did you try a non-portable installation with Arduino’s standard installer?

[Redgeneral]

Just tried arduino's standard installer (non-portable) followed by the teensyduino installer. Although the gui now worked, the same error messages turned up.

Ok, I believe I see what's causing the NullPointerException.

Here's an attempt to fix it. To install this, extract the ZIP file to get pde.jar. Then copy it to the "lib" folder inside Arduino, replacing the pde.jar that's already present.

Please let me know if this solve the error?

[Redgeneral]

This solves the problem - everything now loads correctly with no errors


Thank you

[PaulStoffregen]

Does it also solve the problem when used in portable mode?

[Redgeneral]

Solves the problem for both the installed and portable.

Thank you

Wanted to say that I also had this issue on a Windows 10 machine, Arduino version 1.8.8 installed as the Windows exe rather than as a Windows 10 App.

This fix also worked for me.

[PatMaximum]

Had the same problem on Windows 7 and this fix sorted it.

[SRD]

I had the same issue and this fixed it for me too.
Thanks
