also tried different versions of corona to build html5, same result
 

**** all other builds are fine android ios windows etc ****

Thanks for the details.  I have a question and a suggestion for an alternate test.

  1. Is the HTML 5 Helloworld program something you type in by following a tutorial on the site, or is it one of the sample that comes with Corona?  If it is the prior, you may have made at typo or forgotten a file or setting in a file?

  2. Try the fishies sample that comes with Corona.

  • Start simulator

  • Click ‘samples’ link on launch screen.

  • Double click ‘fishies’ under Graphics section.

  • Build HTML5 target.

Note: I just did this with 2019.3513 with success.  Try your version first, but you may want to roll back a ways and see if it works on an older build.  Then we can hunt down when it broke (if it did.)

I just successfully built fishies with version 2020.3574 too.  You should try a different sample and if that works, check your  other code because there may a problem.  You can compare your files (config.lua, build.settings, …) to the fishies example.

One more note.  Did you mean the ‘hello world’ sample?  It isn’t specific to HTML5 which is why I was confused.  Anways, I built that with 2020.3574 too.  So, I know it can be done.  

If you can’t build this with 2020.3574. Then, there may be something wrong on your machine.  Be sure you’ve got the latest drivers, etc. installed.

Sorry this isn’t more helpful. :frowning:

Q: What kind of machine are you building on?  It looks like it may be a laptop running Windows 10?

Q: Is this your personal machine or a shared resource?  If the latter, I have to wonder if there is some kind of permissions problem, virus scanner, or …   I’m reaching here, just thinking out loud so to speak.

HI

Thanks so much for your help, it was helloworld from corona samples.

it appears the problem lies with my windows install, i suspect there has been corruption/or file permissions problem

somewhere.

i have managed to build on other machines ok, but just not this one.

i may have to do a fresh install, to get this working.

Roger that.  Good luck with the update.
