I am struggling to get KX Developer working on my windows environment. I'm following the instructions but every time I try to start the developer by running the config.bat file and then the launcher.q_, I get the error message "Failed to start KX developer: Developer_home not set - run config.bat"

I tried following the troubleshooting where it suggests doing `DEVELOPER_HOME setenv,

`DEVELOPER_DATA and `DEVELOPER_PORT. This ends up working but everytime I try to create my workspace in KX Developer, I get an error saying "Cannot write to handle 1. OS reports: The parameter is incorrect"

I also don't want to be inputting those environment variables everytime I want to load up KX Developer.

Completely lost on this so any help is appreciated

The "cannot write to handle 1" error may be permissions related. Confirm that the folder pointed to by DEVELOPER_DATA has proper write permissions. Perhaps that is why it cannot create the workspace in that folder.

Run: echo %DEVELOPER_DATA% (to check the variable is set correctly)

Then echo Message > "%DEVELOPER_DATA%\test.txt".

to confirm that you can write a file to that location, or if it throws an error.

Ended up being a firewall issue. Thanks for the response.
