Fix: Flash Builder 4 / VS2010: An internal error occured during:"Launching Main" java.lang.NullPointerException

After setting up Visual Studio 2010 and Flash Builder 4 on my new development machine, I found that I could not start my flex projects anymore. A click on the debug or run icon resulted in the following error message:


'Launching Main' has encountered a problem.An internal error occurred during "Launching Main".java.lang.NullPointerException



It turned out, that Flash Builder could not find the ASP.NET development server which I use to debug my flex-projects:

Flash Builder searches for C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\WebDev.WebServer.exe, so I copied the files WebDev.WebServer20.exe and WebDev.WebServer20.exe.config from C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\microsoft shared\DevServer\10.0\ to C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\ and renamed them to WebDev.WebServer.exe and WebDev.WebServer.exe.config.

Now everything runs fine again

Very Cheap (10 EUR) LCD Monitor for the Stora

As I've already written on the OpenStora forum some time ago, I have followed bastel's guide to add a very cheap lcd pictureframe as status display using lcd4linux to my stora. I plan to eventually integrate this in the front panel of the case and connect it to usb internally. The display is currently available for 10 € at PEARL
