Pyjamas-desktop (pyjd) compiles, runs and quits

Question

I'm running Pyjamas on Windows 8.1 with Python 2.7 (64-bit). I've struggled a bit with getting everything installed, but I believe the struggle has been fruitful -- I've run bootstrap, the file "run_bootstrap_first_then_pyjd_setup.py", and have moved on to experimenting with Pyjamas DESKTOP.

I'm trying to view the Hello.py example (in the examples/helloworld directory) by running both a run.bat file in the command line & by double-clicking in the GUI Windows Explorer. The code of the .bat file is below:

@echo off
python Hello.py

The program will compile, run, open up a white window then immediately quit. Which makes me think it's not quite running (or that Pyjamas doesn't interface with Windows 8.1). If I run the Hello.py file directly by typing

python Hello.py

into the command line, the same thing happens.

I'm guessing this is a Windows software versioning problem (8.1 isn't capable of running the current version of Pyjamas or .....any ideas?

Haven't run into this particular error, but to help debug what is going on, you can try this:

python Hello.py
if errorlevel 1 (
   echo Failure Reason Given is %errorlevel%
   PAUSE
   exit /b %errorlevel%
)

If you can, get an IDE that can have a running console of python. Here is an overly comprehensive list. Just quick browsing on the debugging column, I would say use Netbeans or PyDev with Eclipse.
