[Contact] Re: REDapp - Does not launch on Win 11 Oracle Jave or OpenJDK when clicking on the jar file #35

Message Body

Currently the release of REDapp does not launch via the jar by double clicking. A user needs to activate the jar file from cmd with java -jar REDapp.jar to have it launch.

The users that would expect double clicking to work likely would not go down the path of trying to hit the utility via cmd.

@BadgerOnABike I suspect this is NOT a problem with the jar file but the install environment, pointing to a need for a better installer as opposed to hunting for problems inside the code.... I think.

To assist in sorting out what may need to be done within the installer. image Or is the suggestion that the way the system is trying to talk to java isn't a proper call? I guess I'm asking if this solve is even in our control.

I think that that is coming from the default behaviour to use C:\Program Files\Yada yada, (note the spaces) which I am guessing it does not like and it may want the c:\Progra~1\Yada~1 the 8.3 safe path.

@BadgerOnABike that last bit should look like C:\Progra~1\Yada~1

This is coming from the redapp shortcut

spydmobile commented 4 days ago

yes, i think we blame the installer (making the shortcut) and perhpas use a better install script?
