Not sure what's broken again. Just install FileBot instead.

i get a similar error with the installed version. i will post the error later when at that computer.

got similar error with 2.61 running locally, when i upgraded to 2.62, it appears to work fine so far.

The error above is specifically about a Java WebStart (JNLP) issue with permissions. If you launch a local Java app there can't be JNLP problems. WebStart (if it works) sets up a desktop shortcut that Probably overwrote the shortcut to the installed version.

I'm running Windows 7 (32-bit) / Firefox / Java 1.7.0_05 so at least on my machine it's working fine.

I guess WebStart is somehow messed up on your machine, try this:

Code: Select all

javaws -wait -uninstall
javaws -wait -clearcache

That should delete all webstart apps from the webstart cache:
