Please try manually deleting all of the javafx*win.jar files out of the lib directory and starting jGnash again.

I suspect the download was corrupt or it could be a privilege issue seeing the Access denied warning. Another option is to place jGnash somewhere other than "Program Files" and see if that helps.

Thanks!

I'm able to reproduce the problem by placing jGnash in "Program Files". Windows is protecting itself by not allowing jGnash to download the files. Either move jGnash to a different location such as c:\bin or run jGnash.exe as an administrator the first time so it can add the necessary files.

For what it's worth, I put jGnash in %AppData%\jGnash on Windows, which is guaranteed to be writable for the user who runs jGnash using that account.

Thanks for the tip Luke!
