I tried running it and got an error … I’m running Win2k and JRE 1.5.0_04

An error occurred while launching/running the application.

Category: Launch File Error

No JRE version found in launch file for this system

Apologies for the downtime. It seems there was a glitch in JGF that was affecting the generation of JNLP for some games. Blah has fixed that now (although there might still be issues for OS X, I gather).

Starbugs and Squaroids should be working once more.

Thanking you for your patience,
DM

Yeah, somehow I managed to overwrite the JVM OS-names with lowercase versions. Since webstart is Case SeNsItIvE, this broke it’s handling of 1.5 JVM selection.

(although there might still be issues for OS X, I gather).

Namely, how do you get OS X to use 1.5 if its not already installed?

(c.f. my other thread about 1.5 being a pay-for upgrade to the OS - java actually gives you an error message if you try it, saying this JVM is not availalbe and has to be installed by other means.)

At the moment, it just tries to install the OS JVM from the Sun site, which of course isn’t going to work but since I haven’t seen a URL for doing it automatically from the Apple site, it doesn’t matter.

If anyone finds a way to upgrade the JVM without paying for it, please email me ASAP and I’ll correct.

File a bug with Apple asking for the autodownload feature of Web Start to be implemented on the Mac.
