Java Control Panel applet won't run
843798Jun 30 2004 — edited Mar 24 2005I am running Windows 2000 Server and I need to import a certificate into the certificate database. Both the jpicpl32.cpl and jpicpl32.exe fail to run. When I try to execute either of them they launch an instance of javaw.exe (confirmed in the task manager) but the interface never comes up. Java Web Start misbehaves in the same way.
I am using JRE 1.4.2_04 and I have uninstalled and reinstalled it without solving the problem. One possible issue is that the person who did the initial install of the JRE moved the directory to a different drive after the installation was complete. When I discovered this I edited the windows registry and changed all of the pointers to the new location. That did not help and that is when I uninstalled and reinstalled the JRE.
I have found several messages in this forum indicating similar problems with prior versions of the JRE but none of them had any replies (except for some who said they were having the same problem). I have also searched the web but all that I can find is information on how to troubleshoot java applications, not the JRE itself.
