EXECUTABLE JAR FILES DONOT EXECUTE

I have

jre1.5.0_07

jdk1.5.0_02

My problem is that i am not able to run any Jar executable files on my pc ..

While my laptop with the same java versions is able to run the jar executable files which my pc does not...

Whats the possible reason .. i have tried selecting javaw.exe from both jdk and jre as default program for running jar

pleasehelp me with solution other than reinstallation .. and the possible reason for such behaviour!!

Check the Tools menu Folder Options entries for jar files in both machines. You'll probably see a difference.

I ran into the same issue. Unfortunately it fixed itself somehow. I reinstalled java and it configured the .jar extention to be an executable. Something must have went wrong when I initially installed it.

When you righ click the jar file and say Open With, you should be able to open it with "Java(TM) 2 Platform Standard Edition binary".

Reinstall the JRE and JDK from the pc. If it is executing jar file yet then your pc may affected by virus
