&lt;p&gt;without a proper error message it's hard to say. I think that the
  description above was quite good, and it matched my expectations and experiences.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you absolutely don't get an error message popping up, it might be
  good to start DevStudio from the command line. Sometimes this is more
  enlightning than the mouseclick, because the console doesn't go away
  and might contain an error message.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
