I’m on Windows 7 64bit and I’m following the Getting Started Tutorial. So far I’ve:

  1. Downloaded TideSDK-1.3.1-beta-win-x86.zip
  2. Extracted the 3 folders it contains (modules, runtime, and sdk) to C:/ProgramData/TideSDK/
  3. Downloaded and installed Imagemagick
  4. Downloaded and installed Wix 3.0
  5. Downloaded and installed TideSDK-Developer-1.4.2-win-x86.msi
  6. Cloned using Git: https://github.com/TideSDK/TideSDK-HelloWorld
  7. Opened TideSDK Developer tool.
  8. Clicked “Import Project” and selected the cloned Git repository, hit OK. (Screenshot)
  9. Clicked “Test & Package” tab, and then clicked “Launch App” button. (Screenshot)

TideSDK Developer tool says “Preparing to package and launch desktop app. One moment…” but it never does do anything beyond that. The tutorial says I should see this, but I don’t.

There are no errors anywhere that I can see. What can I do to get this Hello World app working?

    I was not able to get TideSDK to work. However I found something that worked even better: node-webkit.

    “node-webkit is an app runtime based on Chromium and node.js. You can write native apps in HTML and Javascript with node-webkit. It also lets you to call Node.js modules directly from DOM and enables a new way of writing native applications with all Web technologies.”
