applications can be ran from shared, but not from local

This is very curious for me. I wrote a bunch of JavaApplications, which are members of something like a suite. During the testing, some ppl started the apps right from my shared folder, they all had JRE1.3.1 installed and they worked mostly fine. Now I asked them to copy the ReleaseCandidates onto a local folder on their machine, and since then, the app is no longer working. The machine is doing something, but then nothing more happens.

When the start the same thing from my shared folder, everything works fine.

Can anyone help me out?

thx

I assume your shared folder is on some network drive. On your ppl's local systems, by telling them just to copy it somewhere won't necessarily work. A classpath needs to be set to the directory they copied the app to.

For example, if they copied your application into

c:\my folder\application

they would need to set a classpath to that folder. So, open Windows Explorer, find autoexec.bat, right click on it and choose Edit. Find where it says: "SET PATH=". At the end of the line, type the following:

;C:\my folder\application

Now, the class files in that path can be seen. That should do it.

OH yeah, and save it. Then double click on it, or restart the system. That will activate the changes.
