Check failure! This is probably a bug:

Minifier did not output a file

Condition: FileExists(min_js)

File: html5.cpp

Line: 1600

Function: void __cdecl Exporter::DoExport(class era::IProject *,class era::ILayout *,bool,struct HWND__ *,bool,bool)

Build: release 164 (64-bit) checked

Component: HTML5 exporter

(Last Win32 error: 2)

You must first check if you downloaded Java on your Computer

Ditto what Naji said. I followed exactly what you said you did and got no errors.

I have latest java installed on my computer. : /

Can you export anything using Minify? It exports without it, correct?

And you have 64-bit Windows, yes? (stupid question but just making sure!)

I can export to anything if I first uncheck minify script.

Yes, I have 64b Win7.

Recently I had a similar experience where a bug occurred when trying to export under HTML5. I got around it by simply having it try again, and it worked the second time. Does this happen every single time? If you try again, does it give the same error?

It happens always if I use minify. I can try x times and it will give me an error. Interesting fact is that it was working before but suddenly stopped.

If you are running 64bit, you need to have the 64bit java installed as well. Minify kept giving me errors though I had Java installed, I found a note that said you also need the 64bit version installed if you have 64bit windows. Apparently the default Java Download only puts the 32bit version in place. You have to actually go to the downloads section of the java site and download the 64bit version as well.

Closing as can't reproduce, must be a problem with your Java installation.
