I'm off to a strong start with my brand new installation of Stencyl, as two sample games have failed to launch in browser Flash and Windows. Here are some of my favorite logs.

You probably need to (re)install Visual Studio for it to work on Windows.
Code: [Select]
2015-03-30 01:22:58,453 INFO  [Thread-6] stencyl.sw.util.StreamGobbler: [openfl.bat] Error: Could not guess MINGW_ROOT (tried [c:/MinGW]) - please set explicitly
(btw. this error is detected in the latest build and will trigger a prompt for installing Visual Studio.)

Another error in your logs:
Code: [Select]
2015-03-30 01:49:27,890 ERROR [AWT-EventQueue-0] stencyl.sw.util.Util: Cannot run program "taskkill" (in directory "."): CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified
java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "taskkill" (in directory "."): CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified

Apparently the taskkill command is not availbale on Win XP home.
