Hello,
after updating to 7_04, I cannot lauch my jar files by simply clicking on them any more.
(WIN7. Console command java -jar ... works fine.) I had the same problem before under 7_03,
yet reinstalling the jdk was a solution. Now, after removing and reinstalling the jdk, I am prompted
to (either search the web or) choose a program from a list. This list seems already suspicous to me,
as there are two entries by the same name of "Java(TM) Platform SE binary". To not choose the
wrong one, I click the "Browse ..." button and pick javaw.exe from "Program Files/Java/jre7/bin".
But nothing happens.
I searched the registry for ".jar" and found two promising entries
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/FileExts/.jar
HKEY_USERS/S-1-5-21-1845.../Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/FileExts/.jar
Both look the same having two keys
OpenWithList
(Standard) RG_SZ
a RG_SZ javaw.exe
MRUList RG_SZ a
OpenWithProgids
(Standard) RG_SZ
jar_auto_file REG_NONE (Binary value of length null)
Does anybody know how to get this fixed?
(I post the question here and not in the JAR forum, as it is rather a Windows and not JAR problem.)
