[info] application - onStop received closing down the app

I am at activator 1.3.6

I have seen TypeSafe Activator installation error and it might be different then my problem. I have been able to create and launch a play project.

The solution provided there did not work for me.

I see this problem frequently.

have you tried to remove this directory and rerun activator C:\Users\shriv_000\.activator\1.3.6\templates\inde x.db_e25b80033130c08.tmp ? — vvg
Yes. I have tried all kinds of clean ups like removing from folder 1.3.6 — S V

I found a workaround. Try to execute activator as an administrator.
