Flash Builder Won't Open

When I click on the Flash Builder application, the program brings up the loading screen. However, after a few minutes, the loading screen disappears and that's it. I checked my task manager and the program isn't open. So, what's going on? I even tried to open the program directly through the Program Files instead of my desktop, just encase that was a problem. There was no difference. So I don't know what to do. I don't have any problems with any other adobe programs. So why this one?

It's Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 Premium.

I've had the same problems but with 4.7.

My solution was/is to delete the ".metadata" folder that you'll find in C:/Users/{User Name}/Adobe Flash Builder 4.7/.metadata

It will be recreated at relaunch.

The downside is that you'll lose any projects that you have there so you'll have to re-import them.

Just in case, make a copy of the folder before you delete it.

Nowadays I always keep a copy of a working .metadata folder so that I can paste it over the faulty one when things go  south.

Usually happens when I have FB open and the power cuts.

(Yup, some construction going on in the area so the power has gone several times.)

Hope it helps.

I don't have any folders or files called ".metadata".

Ah, stupid of me.

The .metadata folder is of course hidden.

I always change the folder settings to show hidden files.

If you do the same you will see the folder.

That option is already turned on. So all the hidden files are already being shown. There is no ".metadata".

Hmm, strange.

Maybe it's a feature in 4.7 only?

Ok, you're in the wrong folder.

You should go to the Users folder.

C:/Users/{Your User Name}/Adobe Flash Builder 4.6

Well, that's a bummer.

I suspect you've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program?
