I tested iLive Editor on 2 Windows 7 Machines.
on a normal workstation “Windows7 Ultimate 32Bit German” it runs ok. (clean fresh installation)
on a notebook “Windows7 Ultimate 32Bit English” (installed parallel to a windows XP) i got a errormessage:
launch4j: “an error occurred while starting the application”
on the notebook i have to change the UAC “User Account Control” to “newer notify”.
With this setting the Editor runs ok.
at the moment i don’t have the time to look deeper in the system, the “problem” is solved for me…

I’ve been running the Editor on Windows 7 x64 since 1.51. Found and resolved two issues, and it’s been smooth sailing:
1> Window repaints happen much faster if you configure your Editor shortcut to “Disable Desktop Composition.” This turns off the Aero Glass interface for the duration of the Editor session.
2> Don’t install the x64 Java VM. Not only does it run slower in browsers than the x86 version, the Editor just plain won’t run.
YMMV —
I spend some minutes to look deeper in the system to find out what is the problem with the
Error: launch4j: “an error occurred while starting the application”
The findings: it is NOT a UCA issue like i wrote in my first post.
The problem was a issue with „folder redirection“
You will find „Folder redirection“ here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerUser Shell Folders
Specially the “Personal“ entry.
if you don’t have the write permissions on the required folders, or if the folders don’t exist (and can’t be created): then Editor won’t work
the required folders are
“my documents” (on the desktop) the “personal” entry in the registry
