I’m having trouble launching the webstart demos on a couple of machines. Has anyone had the below problems.

Below are the errors from the java webstart console.

What version of WebStart are you using (What JRE version?)

I think some bugs/RFEs regarding SSL (https: URLs) were fixed in the 1.4.2 JRE or Webstart 1.2

Java Web Start 1.2 Console, started Mon Aug 18 19:21:05 EDT 2003

Java 2 Runtime Environment: Version 1.4.0 by Sun Microsystems Inc.

Well, as a standard bug avoidance technique I would advise trying the latest released JRE. For most platforms that is currently 1.4.2. That may update your WebStart as well.

Generally there are quite a lot of bug fixes in each release, and you are 2 significant steps behind.

Yeap, that fixed it, I was hoping not to make all my clients upgrade, but I’m sure I can talk them into it :slight_smile:

Thxs,
