Please clear your browser cache and try again. If it still doesn't work you might need to use the packaged application, Java Web Start does not work for all users.

zhiliangc commented 8 years ago

thanks

jrobinso commented 8 years ago

Does it work now?

zhiliangc commented 8 years ago

yep, only trouble is I need to clear the cache again after a couple launches, but at least it's launching now.

jrobinso commented 8 years ago

You might have a better experience with the packaged window app. The only downside is you have to manually update it occasionally, it does not automatically update to new releases.

zhiliangc commented 8 years ago

Thanks.

Yes, I do have a windows app. I was launching from Illumina BaseSpace and that gave me error. I was told it's more about the IGV java web start itself rather than BaseSpace, so I tried the one from Broad's website. They had exactly the same issue for me. After clearing the cache, both worked, so I have everything working in place now.
