GUI builder does not show up

Question

I'm try to make a new app with codename one using the new GUI builder. However, recently the new GUI builder failed to show up, except for the first time I create a new form.

I tried to reinstall codenameone plugin, java sdk etc. with no luck. Trying to open the gui builder in cmd with

java -jar C:\Users\user\.codenameone\guibuilder_1.jar

gave me the following

WARNING: Could not open/create prefs root node Software\JavaSoft\Prefs at root 0x80000002. Windows RegCreateKeyEx(...) returned error code 5.

The same same gui forms can be opened with gui builder multiple times in another computer with no problems. Similarly, the simulator worked without problem. I wonder if this problem is caused by my system or is anyone facing the same problem?

EDIT: this is the content of guibuilder.input

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<con name="App" formName="TestUI"  file="file:/C:/Users/user/Documents/my-App/res/guibuilder/com/my/App/UI/TestUI.gui" javaFile="file:/C:/Users/user/Documents/my-App/src/com/my/App/UI/TestUI.java" resFile="file:/C:/Users/user/Documents/my-App/src/theme.res" outputFile="file:/C:/Users/user/.guiBuilder/9e0d2b1d-df8d-4878-8418-f09359a7e131.ouput" running="file:/C:/Users/user/.guiBuilder/9e0d2b1d-df8d-4878-8418-f09359a7e131" />

Version 1.09 is pretty old by now, we released 1.12 a while back and we released 1.13 yesterday.

I'm guessing the version in the other machine is different which is why this works correctly there.

I'm not sure how to update the gui builder or confirm the version of the builder (as a side note, the problem resolved after deleting the .gui files). However, the codename one module in eclipse should be up to date.. – R. Wang Sep 18 '16 at 11:27
If you are using Eclipse you will need to wait for a plugin update. It's a bit slower to update than NetBeans/Eclipse. Newer versions have an about menu with the version number there. – Shai Almog Sep 19 '16 at 04:04
