We have downloaded the app inventor install for windows (and Mac too) from http://appinv.us/aisetup_windows and installed on windows 7.

aiStarter starts and displays the following information, however when we access the URL, page not found is displayed.

Platform = Windows
AppInventor tools located here: "C:\Program Files (x86)"
Bottle server starting up (using WSGIRefServer())...
Hit Ctrl-C to quit.

In the browser when we access http://127.0.0.1:8004/

Error 404: Not Found

Sorry, the requested URL 'http://127.0.0.1:8004/' caused an error:

Not found: '/'

Any help?

You are supposed to connect your web browser to

The local address you tried is only for internal communication
with the emulator for testing, after a project has been coded.

Thanks for the clarification. Misunderstood that the install will host the app inventor locally. Maybe I need to look for some other way to get it locally - similar to google's blockly to host it on our network and not on MITs.
