My Arduino IDE (ver 1.8.12 on Win10) crashes when I launch it. Running the arduino_debug.exe
I get this error message.
C:\\Program Files (x86)\\
It also happens on Manjaro linux. In my case removing the folder .arduino15 solves the issue, but I have to remove it every time I open arduino IDE
rm -rf ~/.arduino15/
Win10 folder location:
%HOMEPATH%\AppData\Local
Just use the latest Arduino IDE Beta Version. It is working now, ignoring that issue. I'm using the ESP8266 board and it's running okay.
I've got the same issue - the nightly build seems to work

The beta version 1.9 worked for me. https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software
I'm on Windows 10 having exactly this issue (same arduino_debug log). I tried uninstalling Arduino IDE and then reinstalling it from executable installer; it worked fine until I opened the Board manager: the problem recurs.
After installing the beta version (arduino beta1.9-BUILD-119), I'm not having any problem.
