I just downloaded new components, Android Studio, intelij community, updated gradle, java, jre, jdk (–version 22)… put it all into a new clean directory. Made sure the environments from past javacs were gone, java home updated classpath updated (all working except studio, crashes on start with the below).

Hoping there is a config or xml file entry to make manually that will allow studio to startup where and the directions above will work.

Thanks in advance.
PS. the issuetracker is kinda useless, tells me what I know, not where to put a config entry that will address the application crash.

I tried individual installs running the AS install last hoping the presence of the above would address the issue. No joy.
