Assuming you’re running Developer on a Windows machine, instead of using Developer.exe, use Developer.bat. Try opening your Flow service and then look at the DOS window to see if any exceptions are being written there.
I’ve seen cases where certain Flow services caused a StackOverflowException when you tried to open them. This could be happening here. The solution in that case would be to increase your JVM stack size in Developer.bat.
