Stencyl not loading at all {Command log added} [ISSUE RESOLVED]

I am a graphic artist not a programer and just decided to use Stencyl.  It's also my first time attempting to create a game. Putting that out there so people know where my knowledge and capabilities lie.

I had Stencyl working yesterday and only had trouble getting an extension to install. I decided to see if uninstalling (and deleting the original installer) and re-downloading the installer would help solve the issue.  Afterwards, when asked to run Stencyl, all that shows up is the Stencyl Launcher. However, it never actually starts the program and the Task box on my computer doesn't list it as a Program or a Process. 

I have spent most of the day reading up on every topic I could find on the issue and even ran the debugger, with no change.

Edit:

A friend helped me log the command processes. I added it as an attachment. There's something about a  DataTypeExtension having a problem.

Thanks in advance for any tips or fixes.

You're getting a NoClassDefFoundError for ext/ext/DataTypeExtension. I think this is a bug in an extension.

Which extensions do you have in your [workspace]/engine-extensions folder?

First, thanks for replying!

I thought that was interesting because I uninstalled the program a few times and there's no extensions, other than what appeared in the folder with the installation.  However, the extensions that I was trying to use at the beginning was Dialog, 2d lists, and List Utilities.  The only one I was adding at the time was Dialog.

I think the latest version of the Dialog extension requires the Data Structures Extension to be installed as well. But it's also only for the private build of 3.2.
For 3.1, get the older version from the link in the note here.

Thanks for your help!

After some thought, I decided to get a friend to download Stencyl and send me the dataextension file so I could replace it in my Stencyl folder.  It seems to have fixed the issue. I'm still not sure what the cause was but hopefully it won't happen again!
