Cannot run program: CreateProcess error=5

Hi there,

Try this:

1) Uninstall IDE

2) Backup and delete all IDE-wide settings/caches folders (see Directories used by the IDE to store settings, caches, plugins and logs )

3) Install IDE again from full package into an empty folder (especially if using archive or installer on Linux/Windows)

4) Do not import any settings from previous version (if you still have them around)

This is to check if it will work fine without any custom plugins or previous settings (start as brand fresh installation)

If it works -- most of the settings can then be restored (copied over) from the backup made at #2.

Thanks for the try, but unfortunately it still does not work.

edit: also in the logs:

00:23 External file changes sync may be slow: File watcher failed to start

Anything interesting in idea.log (Help | Show Log in ...)?

If you run IDE as Administrator -- will it work better?

So far it looks like Permissions issue at OS level

https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=createprocess+error%3D5+access+is+denied

It turns out that the anti-virus was the problem, and because he did not recognize the certificate of the software he decided it was blocked.
I added some powerful permissions to the software and now it does not stop it from accessing it anymore.

Thanks for the help.

Aloi, Im having the same problem with "Cannot run program: CreateProcess error=5" can you explain to me how to add the permissions to the anti-virus please? Thanks
