java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:

Hi guys,
Decided to reinstall Windows and install Defold once again, and I’m receiving an error of

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class sun.security.ssl.SSLContextImpl$DefaultSSLContext

when opening up Defold.
I have Java and JRE/JDK installed as well. I can’t really go past the create new project part as it throws the error.
Could anyone assist?

Defold comes bundled with the correct Java version so you shouldn’t need this.

Could you please share the editor log?

As I mentioned above, thats the error I receive. I can’t even enter Defold as when I press new project it refuses to open anything.

I’ve uploaded a video so it explains everything better:

Try to extract and launch Defold from any local directory, for example “Downloads”. Not from “Program Files”.

That fixed it. Thank you and apologies for my stupidity there, just have a thing for keeping things “tidy”

This probably happened because the editor is unsigned on Windows. Our updated code signing certificate for Windows has been severely delayed. We got it end of last week and will start using it in upcoming releases. This will likely solve the issue you had.
