Sweet!
Installation had no problems here (although I do have 2 firmware update tools in the start menu)
Projects opening perfectly too
cant hardly wait to start.
Install went fine. But when I try to open a project, I get "Unable to load C:\Users\jdeba_000\Documents\EZ-Builder\MyProjects\gb-wbwithoutcam.EZB. Reason: There was an error reflecting type 'EZ_Builder.Config.ConfigurationV2'
I am going to uninstall and download again, And try again.

Uninstalled and download again. Installed okay. But same error. Using Windows 8.1. J
made new project it works, but unable to save get error "Unable to save C:\Users\jdeba_000\Documents\EZ-Builder\MyProjects\gb.EZB. Reason: There was an error reflecting type 'EZ_Builder.Config.ConfigurationV2' j
Same problem as jdebay, can't open user projects including sample projects or scripts... Also can't open anything from EZCloud.....
Same issue: Unable to open projects (locally saved or cloud)
Can you check and see if there is a previous version installed still? Uninstall all ARCs, reboot, and install this one.
There was a previous version installed as well as this new version. Deleted both versions, re-booted, installed latest version again ,same issue. - using Win 7 -
