unable to open mkb files in windows

Question

Am getting an error while opening .mkb files of marmalade in windows.

It shows the following error while trying to open the sample applications .mkb file :

C:\Marmalade\6.2\s3e\makefile_builder\mkb.py
C:\Marmalade\6.2\examples\IwGx\IwGxBasicLighting.mkb
Building project: c:/Marmalade/6.2/examples/IwGx/IwGxBasicLighting.mkb
Executing: 'c:\marmalade\6.2\s3e\bin\mdev.bat update'

error: Executing 'c:\marmalade\6.2\s3e\bin\mdev.bat update' failed. (return code 1)

Thanks!

You need to have any active internet connection to open the mkb. Marmalade needs to download certain update files for license check and module updates to work correctly. Since you might be running marmalade for the first time, it throws the error.
