JAR Path

This has probably already been posted.

Took me a while to figure out that the reason RM, etc could not be found was that the shortcut generated by RM points to a specific Java version subdirectory which changes each time Java updates.

A little peeking around confirmed that the Java update also modifies the Windows "path" information.

So, any shortcut that points directly to a .JAR file will associate the JAR filename extension and find Java using the following;

Code: Select all

Path=C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath;
C:\ProgramData\Oracle\Java\javapath;C:\Program Files (x86)...
...without any action needed by the user, so that;

Code: Select all

C:\Users\<YourId>\RM\RemoteMaster.jar -rm
...or any other location works without needing to address Java updates.

Hope that this information is helpful. Again, thanks for a great utility!
