Oh! I totally misunderstood, thanks for double-confirming

Confirmed. Does it on active volume(C:) here Windows 10 x64 SB 2.0. Ran as Admin to make sure it wasn't some ACL issue.

C:\app.apk

Sincere thanks for your support :D (and others), but I had thought of Security and checked ACLs and Admin etc. It made no difference for me ...

On the Create App panel in field "Output filename" - try typing in a path (e.g. c:\myapp.apk) rather than just a filename - its accepted but you then get the Java Usage error....

If however the path is relative (using ..\..\) it works, so the colon ":' is not being handled correctly. Most likely ...

Why does it sound like its linked to the bin directory.

You did read that I CAN create an app?

Yes, I supplied the 32 bit Java JDK directory in the File-->Preferences-->Compiler--->JDK1.8+ path

But please read my original post in full, I did succeed in making an app, its the path(s) that I have issues with.
