Adobe Flash Builder 4.5 has stopped working

Report · Jan 04, 2012

My Adobe Flash Builder 4.5 has stopped working.

I receive the following error when trying to start:

An error has occured. See the log file

C:\ Documents and Settings.......\.metadata.log

I have attached the file.

I have searched the web to try and find a suitable reason/solution but can't seem to find one.

I'm using WIN XP

I had another look on the forums and have managed to cobble together an ini file which launches Eclipse (as the IDE) instead of Flash Builder but it's not ideal although it does seem to work.

It's really very strange.
