Prog only launches from Start Menu

I've had this happen before and just let it work that way but its
happening again with some new programs and I'd like to find out why?
I Snapshot the program as always, it installs fine but will not launch
from the Nal icon. It is a simple program and works fine from the
Program menu that the install creates. The only thing out of the
ordinary is that the paths to the executable are long
ex. C:\Program Files\Discovery Communications Inc\Science Collections
v2.0 Net\ScienceCollectionsV2.exe
Under Nal its set as
%TARGET_PATH%\ScienceCollectionsV2.exe
and Target Path =
C:\Program Files\Discovery Communications Inc\Science Collections v2.0 Net
Is there anything else that I should look at that might cause this not
to launch from the NAL icon?
Zenworks 3.2 sp3, Client 4.83 sp2 Netware 6
Thanks

Some questions / suggestions:
- Are there any command line switches used when starting this application?
If so, it may help if you place them within quotes, especially if there
are spaces in between.
- you say it's an old application. Does the shortcut to the application
contain a start directory, and if so, is this long filename or 8.3
filename? If there is a start directory in the shortcut, you should also
use this in you application object
- What exact error message do you get?
Hope this helps a bit,
Karl-Heinz

  • Indesign not launching from start menu

    I am currently running InDesign CC 2014 and witnessing a frustrating behavior.  I am able to launch InDesign from the Creative Cloud Application, but if I double click on and InDesign file, ort try to launch from my start bar, the application doesn't launch.
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    From the sound of it, the OS doesn't know InDesign is the default application for .indd files and you have an out-of-date link in your start bar. The CC app knows what InDesign is, but the OS doesn't, so the remedy is to either set up the default manually or uninstall and reinstall InDesign. the installation process will add the necessary defaults to the OS.
    This happened, possibly, because you uninstalled an earlier version of InDesign after you had installed the new one. This is a frailty of the uninstaller (all of the Adobe apps suffer the same problem) that I hope will be fully addressed soon. At present, the necessary sequence to avoid problems (if you don't want to keep an earlier version of an app) is: a) install new version, b) migrate preferences, etc., c) uninstall old version, d) uninstall, then reinstall new version.

  • How do I start Firefox 4 from KMenu when I downloaded and installed Firefox4.0.tar.bz2 (only launches from terminal), and 'apt-get' installs Firefox 3.6.15 even though I tried to "--purge" it from Linux?

    I downloaded and installed Firefox 4 RC using tar.bz2 so that I could still use Firefox 3.6.15 as per normal, having to start Firefox 4 using the terminal which worked great (except for many videos on different websites). When Firefox 4 was released, I suppose I was in a hurry to get it to work normal from my menu, but it kept saying that 3.6.15 was the latest version (I'll be quite embarrassed if it wasn't available for Linux users - I do love Firefox!). I did something silly, like purge Firefox from my operating system (Kubuntu 10.10) and when I reinstalled it was still 3.6.15 (it wasn't really downloading, but unpacking). Am I in too much of a hurry or is there a fix-it? I can use Firefox 4, but only through the terminal and I suspect it is slower than it should be. I would like only one version now.

    First, that cannot be an iBook G4 as that machine cannot run Snow Leopard let alone Mountain Lion.  To run Snow Leopard it has to be an Intel processor, not a G4.  What does it show as the Model Identifier in About This Mac, More Info, System Report, Hardware, Model Identifier?
    Second, if you have erased the hard drive there should not be remnants of any prior content.  Even though Disk Warrior is saying nothing is wrong with the hard drive, it sounds as though there are problems.  You may want to consider simply replacing the hard drive so there are no questions about faults.  A good source is OWC, http://www.macsales.com where they also have on-line videos showing how to do the replacement.
    Third, you could also try again to restart using the Snow Leopard DVD/CD and use Disk Utility on that install disk to erase again, and do it a couple times, then try to install.  If it continues to refuse, then it sounds as though there is a fault with the hard drive.

  • Windows 10 Quick Launch and Start Menu

    I upgraded to windows 10 today, and although a bit sluggish, all seems well. However the start menu will not open, and only certain programs will run if I right click it. Also, the quick launch icons just completely refuse to work! Seriously beginning to do my head in now!  

    Hi  ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues with help from the community!
    I came across your post about the Notebook, and wanted to assist you! If you right click on the programs does it give you the option to Troubleshoot compatibility. Is the program ready for Windows 10. I would be happy to assist if needed. How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    Please let me know.
    Thanks.

  • System Preferences & Software Update won't launch from Apple Menu

    I could really use some help with this, I've tried google searches etc and nothing has worked out.
    I recently upgraded from 10.4.11 to 10.5.8 and then changed back to 10.4.11
    When it was installed (from a Universal retail not the DVD that came with the mac) I copied all the folders from "Previous System" and replaced the newly made ones.
    At some point I was using System Preferences when it vanished with the usual message "Closed unexpectedly, reopen, close etc". Since then neither System Preferences nor Software Update will launch from the apple menu. System Preferences will, however, open from the dock.
    When they are clicked on the hard drive makes some noise and then stops and nothing appears.
    Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

  • How to remove a folder and some links from start-menu

    Hi!
    An application (Kaspersky Antivirus) is installed on quite
    some Win2K-SP-Workstations by the Kaspersky Administration
    Kit (with its own installer).
    With this installation an entry to the start-menu is made
    and this entry shall be removed by Zfd 3.2-SP3. I ran
    through some tests with an application-object (run as secure
    system user), which only intent was to remove this entry.
    First I tried by "Distribution Options - Application Files"
    to remove the folder "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All
    Users\Startmen\Programme\Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 for
    Windows Workstations". Then I tried a "Distribution Script"
    with "RD /S /Q "C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All
    Users\Startmen\Programme\Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 for
    Windows Workstations"", which also failed.
    Do I miss something? Where could I check the results of
    those tries to get a better feeling on what is going wrong
    here?
    Thanks in advance.
    Karl

    When doing the job with an *.bat-file it works, when going
    with the distribution script it does not. Are all the
    windows/dos/batch commands available in the distribution
    script option?

  • Search missing from start menu after BSOD?

    I've been using W10 for a few months now and it's been very stable, however for the first time this morning I've experienced a problem. When I tried waking the computer up from sleep, it BSOD'd and at the bottom said to search for "DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE"
    for more information.
    After restarting the computer, I ran windows update (windows defender updated), and since then have restarted a few more times, but the search bar is simply missing from the start menu. It's just gone.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    ”After restarting the computer, I ran windows update (windows defender updated), and since then have
    restarted a few more times, but the search bar is simply missing from the start menu. It's just gone.“
    May I know the preview build version you're using now? I wonder whether you're performing a normal Windows Updates or a system upgrade at that time. If it is normal Windows Updates then check if it has created a restore point before installing the updates,
    if it has, then you could restore the system to a previous state with system restore and check if it could help you.

    Thanks for the suggestion... the registry already has this setting... that does
    not seem to be it.
    From looking closer at what is installed with the 1.3 JRE versus the 1.2 JRE packaged
    with the 5.1 server... it seems to me that the issue has to do with support for
    the Hotspot VM.
    The 1.3 JRE has a hotspot subdirectory under the bin, there is no classic subdirectory,
    as is the case with the 1.2 JRE in the 5.1 package or even with a standard SDK
    1.3 installation.
    Does 5.1 support the hotspot vm. How can I switch it to use the 'older' JVM instead?
    If I copy the 'classic' jvm.dll from the sdk 1.3 installation into the bin\classic
    directory of the 1.3 JRE, the server does start, but an error message indicating
    that the javai.dll was not found still comes up. Followed by the following error:
    Warning: JIT compiler "symcjit" not found. Will use interpreter.
    The server startup output then comes up ... Please help, anyone?

  • Mail Icon from STart menu has wrong user info

    we set up the new 400 pavilion slimline pc, and see an incorrect user name in the start menu.  first question is how to change that.  next, when we click on the Mail icon, a different user name appears (what appears is username and password request info that was sent from my work pc to this home pc as a means of testing and practise for the homeowner to access mail)  it's like the home pc took over my work username info and installed it in the Mail icon set up!
    in sum, how can we change what first appears as an incorrect user name, and set up the correct user name on the Mail icon prompt.     the home owner can access and get mail, so that works fine but we added the comcast account link into 'favorites' folder as a means to connect into her mail.  we naturally want to make this easier by just selecting the Mail icon off the Start menu.  thanks! tc17

  • Remove program from start menu

    I want to remove Dropbox AND iCloud from my start menu - they slow up the process and I don't use them all the time. Can any one tell me how? thanks

    System Preferences->Accounts->username->Login Items and remove what you don't want running at boot time. As for the iCloud account, I don't use it, so you'll have to figure that one out on your own.

  • Remove picture/link to 'user accounts' from start menu by GPO

    Hi,
    I'm trying to remove everything from the start menu, users will have desktop short cuts appropriate to their role and nothing else.  The last item I cannot disable or remove is the picture which also functions as a link to 'user accounts'.  I don't
    care if the picture stays just so long as it is completely static.
    Alternatively, a means to completely remove the start menu would be fine.
    Thanks

  • Resman has fatal errors when run from start menu

    I have a VME chassis connected to my computer via an NI MXI-2 bus.  When I run resman out of MAX, it works fine.  When it automatically runs on startup or when I run it from the start menu, it bombs out with a windows fatal error.  This has happened for years, on multiple different computers.  This isn't a huge deal, so I haven't investigated it before.  Is this a known bug?  Is there a way to fix this annoyance?  I'm running latest driver versions of everything, although the VXI driver has remained static for quite some time from NI.
    I just discovered the different operation today - start menu vs. in MAX.  I think it may be a clue...

    This is somewhat of a known issue.  Take a look at the following KB:

  • Run java program from start menu

    Does anyone know how to write a class so that when a user is running my program for the first time they can run an installation file that will put a shortcut to my bat file in the start menu.Know of any place i can get info on setting up an installation class or something similar.
    If you could give me some info would greatly appreciate it,it's my first time doing anything this big and not really sure where to start with writing an installation file

    If your program is just for windows then giving the user an exe instead of a .bat file will help.
    http://www.rolemaker.dk/nonRoleMaker/javalauncher/marner_java_launcher.htm
    Your user will either need to have a JVM installed on their machine or you will need to provide one with the application. If you intend to provide one, the licence doesn't allow you to install it on to the target machine, but you can place the java dir in your directory structure and access the java/javaw command by a relative path (see the help on the above site for that)
    Once you have a directory structure set up for your application, you can use any comercial intall program to give give you a setup.exe file or whatever. if you are providing the VM with your distribution, then the file will at least 14MB plus your class and resource files. If you read the licence agreement for distributing the VM, it tell you what files can and can't be removed from it to make the file a bit smaller. For instance, you can remove webstart because you won't be using that.
    search http://www.download.com/ for installers. I think there are a few ad supported ones if you don't want to pay

    Hi @bepebe ,
    I see that you are having issues with the HP Printer Assistant not opening, after installing the printer software. I would like to help you out today.
    Temporarily turn off any Antivirus Software to make sure it isn't interfering with the HP Printer Assistant loading.
    Try opening it again.
    Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor if the issue persists. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
    Please provide the following information so I can assist you better.
    Did you have any errors during the install itself?
    How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
    What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
    Have a nice day!
    Thank You.

  • Strange sharepoint icons missing from start menu

    I dont know what kind of permissions have been disturbed in the server and I can not see the sharepoint icons as usual in the start. The logs are also not being updated in the default C:\programfiles\--\logs\ location.
    However when domain admin logs in to the system he can see the icons as usual.
    which policy or permissions is missing??

    Hi,
     After long struggle got an idea to fix your problem, the below solution may help you to fix this.
    To fix the missing icon or non-displayed icons in the start menu, need to rebuild the icon cache.The icon cache file is a hidden file that is named as  IconCache.db. This file you can find in C:\Users\<User Name>\AppData\Local or %UserProfile%\AppData\Local.
    To rebuild the icon canche, you will need to either delete or rename the existing file so that Windows will build a new one after failing to locate it at its normal location.
