Can't get the new Alpha to work

So, I finally wanted to try the new string library stuff from the 6.40 Alphas. I loaded my project and tried to run it, resulting in a "the debugger has stopped unexptectedly" message.
Now, if I put a MessageRequester("","",0) in the first line, this still happens.

How can I find out what I'm doing wrong? How do I get it to work?

Only x64, asm should work with a4

I tried with both compilers of the Alpha 4 on Windows. Doesn't work.
The problem is, it compiles, but doesn't start somehow.

Incorrect installation - Wrong folder.
Antivirus Program - Exceptions not added.
Path set wrong - you don't have to (cmd - set)

I do not install PureBasic in programs.

For this I create an extra folder "C:\WinAPP" and change the path to "C:\WinAPP\PureBasic-v630x64 during the installation depending on the version
I then add the folder "C:\WinAPP" to the exceptions in the antivirus program.

Good point!
I will change path like you with the next version.
