Hei!

i have an weird error with webstartable applications, with every .jnlp file loading, i receive the following message dialog…
i also added an jnlp source wich produces two of these error message dialogs, one it produces itself and the second with the line which loads current_webstart_jogl.jnlp…

i need some help to remove these error dialogs from my computer - AMD Athlon 1.733Ghz with XP PRO SP2 and JDK 6.0…
[add] i receive the same error msg dialog with IE6, Opera9.2 and FireFox…

thanks, JariTapio…

What happens if you use the command line?

javaws

Or if you doubleclick the local one?

javaws gives me the error dialog just as well as doubleclicking jnlp file on a local computer…

thank you for trying…

Very weird… ???
Did you try re-installing java?

#7

You really get that “Microsoft (wtf?) JScript (huh?) compilation (js is interpreted isn’t it?) error” dialog?

If thats the case, then your machine is seriously screwed. If reinstalling Java doesn’t fix it, I would wipe the hdd completely.

Hei!

----If reinstalling Java doesn’t fix it, I would wipe the hdd completely.

yep, i went reinstalling my copy of Java JDK&JRE once again and i still get that - MICROSOFT JSCRIPT COMPILATION ERROR - dialog when webstartable jars are launched ??
i believe that this is an Java issue here, so, im not gonna (yet) install my hdd/windows again…
still its getting a bit annoying to receive jscript error message(s) everytime when .jnlp and webstart are launched, even if they run ok…

im a bit helpless here, has there been anyone else having the same error message with webstart ?? i need an solution to remove it from my computer ??
to who i should turn with my error message, i really want it off from my computer ??

thanks…

When you reinstalled Java, did you completely remove it first and reboot, before installing it again?

It’s really a weird issue I’ve never seen before; I honestly haven’t got a clue what "Microsoft JScript’ has to do with Java Web Start.

#10

smells like a MS issue to me… did you try other browsers? (assuming you are on IE)

#11

Hei!

—smells like a MS issue to me… did you try other browsers? (assuming you are on IE)
i receive the JScript error when launching webstarts with IE, Opera and FireFox browsers…

—When you reinstalled Java, did you completely remove it first and reboot, before installing it again?
i completely removed my NetBeans5.5 and JDK/JRE but i did not reboot before installing them again…
hmm… i will reinstall NetBeans&JDK once more this time with reboot…

[add]
heh, i removed NetBeans&JDK&JRE rebooted and reinstalled and the result is the same, i still get JScript error with all the browsers when .jnlp loads…
if my computer is expecting ’ ) ’ then where the heck is ’ ( ’ ??

thanks…

i believe that this is an Java issue here

It clearly isn’t. a) The JRE isn’t from Microsoft and b) JScript != Java.

Alright. I want you to do the following:
-download a jnlp file
-rightclick… open with… choose program
-other… go to the jre/bin dir and pick javaws.exe
-check always

Then see what happens. (Reinstalling Java should have fixed that file association tho.)

edit:
With Firefox you can also check Tools->Options->Content->File Types->Manage. Check if the “Java ™ Web Start Launcher” is selected there. If it isn’t you can change the option there.

i now got my .jnlp loading without jscript error…
heh, i just kept installing jdk and clicking settings from java settings…

thanks…
