Admin "installs" but fails on creating shortcut or app in start menu

[rhirsch]

I did a auto upgrade to 4.7.3 and my shortcut disappeared and thy i944 app in the start menu disappeared. When i run the start.jnlp it first starts the install and then a Java permission screen appears and I allow and then get an error that shortcut cannot be installed. I tried everything I know and have reinstalled Java and i944 downloads several times even restored form backup, but not shortcut or apps. The only way i can launch the admin console is to make a shortcut that points to where "admin.jnlp" is stored on my PC. I am running the latest Build of Windows 10 Pro. BTW I've used an Isy for years and even had to update to a i944, so not a newbie to Universal Devices.

Have you tried the new ISY Launcher? Here's the link to it.

What version of Java?

I have this problem with Windows 7 SP1 and that problem occurred with both Java 8 (181) and Java 10 (10.0.2). My solution is the same as yours. The problem occurs with both admin.jnlp and start.jnlp. For Java 10 I got a popup message saying that:

Missing Application-Name manifest attribute for: https://isy.universal-devices.com/launcher/isyfinder-1.3.jar
Warning: Java Web Start and Java Plug-in are deprecated and will be considered for removal in a future Java release.

Clear your java cache of all three options Then try the download again. 

The warning is a java cleanup message and shouldn't be related to this.

Thanks larryllix, I’m pretty sure I did that (because I always clear all of them) but I’ll try it again later when I get time.

I just tested this and I can start the console with start.jnlp but I get the same error (Java 10.0.2) and no icon gets created. I can start the ISY finder with start.jnlp, it just doesn't create a proper shortcut.

I"m using Java 8 Update 181. I had tried the new launcher and that is where I am getting cannot install shortcut. When i select details it then brings up the launcher and I can select Admin console. But want I want is what I had a shortcut and Start Menu app so I can get into the admin console as I had said on my opening post.

I had some problems with Win 10 a year back. The icon would end up hid in the start menu root, the ISY sub-menu or my desktop at random.
