title: App Inventor cannot connect to emulator
body: <p>Started evaluating <em>MIT App Inventor</em> (ver 2.2) on <em>Windows 7</em> (from <em>Administrator</em> account). Since I don't have Android devices, I have to use an <em>emulator</em>.</p>
  
  <p><em>aiStarter.exe</em> and <em>emulator.exe</em> both work when explicitly started, but <br>when I start <em>aiStarter.exe</em> and <a href="http://ai2.appinventor.mit.edu/#5440960545685504" rel="nofollow">ai2.appinventor.mit.edu/#5440960545685504</a> on <em>Chrome</em> and then do <code>Connect/Emulator,</code> <em>emulator.exe</em> is not started, and <em>aiStarter</em> disply messages like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>127.0.0.1 - - [16/Dec/2014 04:15:13] "GET /echeck/ HTTP/1.1" 200 38
  The system cannot find the path specified.
  Problem checking for devices : status 1 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I tried disabling <em>Chrome extensions</em>, and trying to start <a href="http://ai2.appinventor.mit.edu/#5440960545685504" rel="nofollow">ai2.appinventor.mit.edu</a> from <em>FireFox</em> and <em>Maxthon</em> browsers, with identical negative results.<br>Both Googling and searching <a href="http://appinventor.mit.edu/" rel="nofollow">appinventor.mit.edu</a> didn't help.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>What is the failed path in the error message referring to?</li>
  <li>Any suggestions how to debug App-Inventor/emulator startup failure?</li>
