RGKS Posted November 13, 2022 Posted November 13, 2022 I've been a long time user of the ISY admin console, but since I've updated to windows 11 I've had problems getting the start.JNLP file to install the admin console on my desktop, which I've never had an issue in the past. I still have a running version on my MacBook pro so I know its computer related. I did get it to work once after several attempts by going into the java cache viewer and selecting the application and creating a desktop icon, but now I can even get it to install the application after updating to the newest ISY firmware. I've try deleting all java content and Java itself and installing a fresh copy but still no luck. Tried all the troubleshooting advise on the wiki page including running the start file with javaws and the below steps from another tread. Clear Java Cache (yes, again). Be sure you select all three boxes in the process Refer to this wiki article to remove .state files - https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=Main_Page#Admin_Console_Minimized/Invisible_and_Cannot_be_Restored (***NEW STEP you might not have done before!***) Delete ALL start.jnlp or admin.jnlp files downloaded ANYWHERE on your computer download a fresh start.jnlp version from UDI - https://isy.universal-devices.com/start.jnlp Run start.jnlp Should put fresh ISY Launcher icon on desktop Wondering if anybody has encounter the same issues and was able to fix it? Cheers!
Techman Posted November 13, 2022 Posted November 13, 2022 (edited) Clear your Jave cache and applications again. If you have any anti-virus / firewall software and/or windows defender, try disabling it before you run START.JNLP Edited November 13, 2022 by Techman
RGKS Posted November 13, 2022 Author Posted November 13, 2022 I currently don't have any anti-virus / firewalls installed and tried turning off the windows defender with the same results.

larryllix Posted November 14, 2022 Posted November 14, 2022 This process becomes more crytic and hidden every improvement of Windows and ISY. Gives users something to do. For windows 11 here is what I had to do. Run the URL from your posted step 4 above. Select "Save File" from the options. This will create a file called "start.jnlp" in you downloaded files folder in Windows 11. I have my "Downloaded Documents" moved to my Desktop. I hate Windows always attempting to hide everything. The icon will be some unfamiliar avatar you may have never seen before. Click your "Start" button on your task bar. Select "All apps" on top right corner. Now search down through your app list for "IoX". Right click on it, select "More", and "pin to taskbar" Now you should have the familiar icon/avatar show up on your taskbar for easy launch of the new renamed "IoX" = ISY launcher.

I looked for the "IoX" app but none available. I don't get a unfamiliar avatar icon...Everything seem normal on my desktop (pic) but for some odd reason the start.jnlp will not install the java app.

It would be found in your "Downloaded Documents" folder and I doubt it is java. The admin console will be java after the downloaded app loads it.

I'm going to try and do a bit of research on .jnlp not running since it seems to be pointing to an issue with java which I've always found to be flaky even on a good day. I remember a comment made that the app maybe moving away from JAVA which would be great! a lot of browsers don't support it any more hence why I'm trying to get the app working.

Java is likely one of the most popular programming languages in the world still. I doubt you will see UDI move away from java. There would be no advantage. The admin console runs in java and is not related to, or use, any browser. Your java firewall is likely blocking it from running freely and will need to have permissions installed to allow the admin console to run. There is a security tab in the java setup app, found in your Windows Control Panel Browsers use javascript language. The two are not similar or related. Edited November 15, 2022 by larryllix

It's just going to put the ISY Launcher (now IoX Launcher) icon on your desktop. I do not use Win11 yet, but does it have a way to set default apps like available in Win10? Look at (Windows) Settings -> Apps -> Default Apps -> Choose default apps by file type In Win10 I have the option that .jnlp files are associated with Java(TM) Web Launcher) This way when I run/double click the start.jnlp it auto runs in Java and runs the processes as expected. Your issue seems that Java was not installed correctly, the .jnlp is not associated with Java, or you have anti-virus and/or firewall running. Above you said you don't have either anti-virus (other than Windows Defender) or firewall running (mostly 3rd party anti-virus and firewall will block .jnlp from running). I would follow the steps you posted in your original message. You can ignore Step 2 (doesn't apply). After Step 3 I would uninstall Java (again?). On the Java website there is a tool to remove all old versions of Java (https://www.java.com/en/download/uninstalltool.jsp). REBOOT your computer Then re-install Java (from java.com) You should see this when installing: (screenshot from today 11/15/22) Then continue with step 4 from your original post. Check if Win11 has the same setting to associate file types with apps and be sure you have .jnlp set for Java Web Launcher. I know there is a growing number of Win11 users on here that don't seem to have issues.

I think I'm honing in on the issue. I uninstalled JAVA using the recommended software as you indicated and the start.jnlp still has the JAVA logo and I still have an option in my "open with" to launch it with JAVA which I would have expected it to be gone. It seem I have leftover files of some sort that I need to remove before installing JAVA again.

Paul F Posted December 13, 2022 Posted December 13, 2022 On my new Windows 11 PC, I needed to use the command line prompt: javaws "JNLP file location" IoX Launcher was then created on my desktop.
