64 bit App Inventor Installer

[mcconnelld]

The installer for App Inventor doesn't yet work with 64 bit machines.

Is this an installer built from the tip of master or the latest binary from the releases page?

Hi Jacob,
It’s the Pre-release one on the releases page. Tom asked me to post an issue just so we keep up with it.

The installer built from the tip of master, also doesn't work out of the box. It required me to touch up the python script a bit to work, but it has a lot less issues than the last per-release 1.0.0

Here is my Gist of the Python script to launch App Inventor for my 64-bit machine. https://gist.github.com/dmssargent/a8ee6a1e9edfe7f9dbb7ba874f1dd1a3

The out-of-box one just started everything up, then killed everything.

I haven't forgotten about this, just have been busy. I'm not even sure what the status of App Inventor is anymore. I don't even know if teams use it now that there is that new programming mode. I'm gonna try and find all this out and then see what's going on with this.
