no luck trying these things.  by the way, I can access my isy using the "isy Launcher" from my other computers.  it is just this one that is troubled.  any other suggestions?

I had this same issue when I jumped to Windows 10.

You need to install Java for Windows before any of those instructions work.

Sounds like either a Java issue or a firewall issue.

Had this issue with an associate at my company. The problem was that the .jnlp application was only trying to open in IE instead of the Javaws aplication.

What I did was right click on the file > Open with > Browse > C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_221\bin\javaws

I also marked a check by the box that said set this as default app. The issue no longer affects us

this was what the problem was.  I fixed it using the above.  just posting it to help anyone else that might have the same problem.
