Java Forum / General / February 2008JAWS failure
This just started happening. I can run a JAWS app from within the browser. But when I later go to run from the desktop icon it says I don't have Java 1.6 installed. Here is a typical JNLP file after JAWS has normalised it: <jnlp spec="1.6+" codebase="http://mindprod.com/replicator/" href="http://mindprod.com/replicator/replicatorreceiverwebsite.jnlp"> <information> <title>The Replicator 9.6 via website</title> <vendor>Canadian Mind Products</vendor> <homepage href="http://www.mindprod.com/"/> <description>Replicates files via website. Also keeps them up to date efficiently.</description> <description kind="short">Replicates files via website.</description> <description kind="one-line">Replicates files via website.</description> <description kind="tooltip">the Replicator</description> <icon href="http://mindprod.com/replicator/replicator.gif" height="64" width="64" kind="default"/> <icon href="http://mindprod.com/replicator/replicatorsplash.gif" height="128" width="128" kind="splash"/> <shortcut online="true"> <desktop/> <menu submenu="The Replicator"/> </shortcut> </information> <security> <all-permissions/> </security> <update check="timeout" policy="always"/> <resources> <java initial-heap-size="134217728" max-heap-size="536870912" java-vm-args="-ea" href="http://java.sun.com/products/autodl/j2se" version="1.6+"/> <jar href="http://mindprod.com/replicator/replicator.jar" download="eager" main="false"/> <property name="VIA" value="website"/> <property name="PROJECT_NAME" value="Mindprod.com"/> <property name="UNIQUE_PROJECT_NAME" value="com.mindprod.replicator"/> <property name="SUGGESTED_RECEIVER_BASE_DIR" value="C:\mindprod"/> <property name="SUGGESTED_RECEIVER_ZIP_STAGING_DIR" value="C:\mpstaging"/> <property name="WEBSITE_ZIP_URL" value="http://mindprod.com/replicator"/> <property name="SUGGESTED_LAN_ZIP_URL" value="http://mindprod.com/replicator"/> <property name="KEEP_ZIPS" value="false"/> <property name="UNPACK_ZIPS" value="true"/> <property name="AUTHENTICATION" value="none"/> <property name="DEBUGGING" value="true"/> </resources> <application-desc main-class="com.mindprod.replicator.Replicator"/> </jnlp> -- Roedy Green Canadian Mind Products The Java Glossary http://mindprod.com On Fri, 22 Feb 2008 20:31:40 GMT, Roedy Green <see_website@mindprod.com.invalid> wrote, quoted or indirectly quoted someone who said : >I can run a JAWS app from within the browser. >But when I later go to run from the desktop icon it says I don't have >Java 1.6 installed.

Check the executable the desktop icon links to, then paste that (full path) into a commandline with -version. That should give some clue, hopefully. Also, try rebooting in between de- and re-installs, if you haven't.

The desktop links invoke javaws.exe with a cache entry. That is definitely a place to dig. I think I rebooted, but just in case I will try again. thank you. I have been baffled by this one, since it USED to work, and I can't think of anything I changed that would be relevant. -- Roedy Green Canadian Mind Products The Java Glossary http://mindprod.com On Mon, 25 Feb 2008 10:21:02 GMT, Sabine Dinis Blochberger <no.spam@here.invalid> wrote, quoted or indirectly quoted someone who said : >Also, try rebooting in between de- and re-installs, if you haven't. i tried an elaborate reinstall following the instructions at http://mindprod.com/jgloss/jdk.html#FAILED no joy. same behaviour.

Do the java executables work in a command line? Double check the environment settings. Other things you can try is a checkdisk and defrag.

I can launch the JAWS apps fine in several ways: - in a browser - with an JNLP icon shortcut - within Javaws.exe Just not via the shortcuts javaws creates on the desktop that point into the cache. It somehow thinks Java is not installed. I can't figure out what possibly could be different before and after. It USED to work. The only thing I can think of is some Vista update. -- Roedy Green Canadian Mind Products The Java Glossary http://mindprod.com On Fri, 22 Feb 2008 20:31:40 GMT, Roedy Green <see_website@mindprod.com.invalid> wrote, quoted or indirectly quoted someone who said : >I can run a JAWS app from within the browser. >But when I later go to run from the desktop icon it says I don't have >Java 1.6 installed. I have improved things a bit by uninstalling the JDK and wiping clean the directories, registry, stuff all stuff in the control panel and the desktop icons and C:\users and reinstalling. Now JAWS apps will start within the javaws -viewer. They will launch from a JNLP on the desktop, but the won't launch from the icons JAWS creates on the desktop. It still complains Java 1.6+ is not installed. -- Roedy Green Canadian Mind Products The Java Glossary http://mindprod.com Free MagazinesGet these publications absolutely FREE for up to 12 months.
