Unable to launch application from my machine:Bad MIME Type

Hi,
The following error message was printed when I tried to access the SwingSet2 demo from the Java Web Start site.
An error occurred while launching/running the application.
Title: SwingSet2
Vendor: Sun Microsystems, Inc.
Category: Download Error
Bad MIME type returned from server when accessing resource: http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/apps/SwingSet2.jnlp - text/html
Can you please suggest what is to be done to rectufy this problem?
Regards,
Satish

Bad MIME type returned from server when accessing
resource:
http://java.sun.com/products/javawebstart/apps/SwingSet
.jnlp - text/htmlit should return application/x-java-jnlp-file.
My guess is that you use proxy which messes up headers.
Otherwise try to reinstall Web Start, then enable the console and log output in Web Start's advanced preferences to get more clues what's going on.

Unable to launch application on Linux machine

Hi,
We have a Java based product developed as desktop application. This product has a tree structure built-in. and while connecting to few of the nodes, we are getting the following error: "*Cannot write XdndAware property*".
Note:
1. We are running the application on a Linux machine.
2. We are using JNLP to launch the application.
3. Only few nodes are causing this issue.
4. Tried putting -DsuppressSwingDropSupport=true in JNLP file, but no progress.
5. This happens on JDK1.6.0_23 and above
Can someone help us to resolve this issue.
Thank you.
Regards,
KNP

Let me explain my current requirement.
1. All the client jars should be downloaded every time I click a link (as of now its a JNLP link, but this can change).
2. And this should be platform independent
3. I stated in the earlier description I should be able to pass arguments (suppressSwingDropSupport, etc) to VM to resolve the actual issue.
Can someone please suggest any other approach?
I have one more generic question: Can I write my own JNLP defining XSD & DTD, so that it can accept all the arguments whichever I can pass to the VM? If so, how to do this?
Please respond

I recently installed j2se 5.0 update 1 and uninstalled my earlier version of 1.4.2_06.

How can I restore just one application from Time Machine?

Hello, I have just one application that is really acting quirky and won't load correctly anymore and I would like to restore that application from Time Machine but am just not sure how to do that. Can someone please walk me through step by step on how to restore just one application. Thank you. Jean
Message was edited by: anokienurse

Before you restore an application from a Time Machine backup it would be wiser to remove the current installed copy then reinstall from the application's original distribution medium - download, CD/DVD, etc. The reason for this is that Time Machine backs up every hour. By now the bad version of this application is now backed up to your Time Machine backup drive. Restoring from the backup won't resolve your problem.
First, uninstall the old program. If the program came with an uninstaller then use it. If not then start by deleting the application from the Applications folder. Then locate all the support files associated with the application and remove them, too. Look for these in:
/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences
/Users/yourusername/Library/Applications Support
Applications may come with a separate uninstaller program that could also be in your Applications folder. Some applications may install other files in other locations on your computer. If you tell us what the application is we may be able to provide additional help.
You may find more information here: The XLab FAQs. Read the FAQ on uninstalling software.

Restore some application from time machine problem.

Hi Everybody,
I just restored my MBP from Time Machine, everything went fine. But I feel my MBR start up much slower than before. So now I want to do a clean install Leopard.
I would like to ask you guys who experiences in Time Machine that after installing Leopard, I want to restore some applications from Time Machine such as MS office, Wow, Photoshop...Will they fully function if I restore from TM?
I acknowledge that some applications are like packages so after installing in Mac OS, they are actually located in different places in the system. Whereas others is like small application so we just copy and use. So if big applications as packages, I can not just copy from TM and put it in my new Leopard to use, can't I? If I can't, so is there any ways I can copy it back and use?
I am so confusing about this and I hope very much that somebody could help me out this problem, I would greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Wait on the erase and install. Launch Disk Utility which is in the Applications > Utilities folder and Verify your disk and repair permissions. If Verify shows any errors boot from the Leopard install DVD by holding the "c" key down until the spinning gear appears. Pick a language and choose Utilities > Disk and run Repair until no errors appear. Repair permissions.
If that doesn't work try resetting the PRAM which quite often fixes slow boot times.

I don't know about Wow but Photoshop and MS Office install too many files in too many places for it to be practical to restore them from Time Machine backups after doing an erase and install. You need to reinstall those from the original disks for those applications.

Java - Unable to launch application

The problem: When I try to run ASDM on my Cisco 5550, I'm getting the dialog box "Unable to launch application". When I click on "Details", I see the error: "The application has requested a version of the JRE (1.5+) that is not installed".
The system I'm running this on is a Mac Pro with OS X Lion 10.7.5, and the latest Java version 7u13.
The initial lines of "show ver" on the firewall are:
# show ver
Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software Version 8.2(2)
Device Manager Version 6.3(3)
This is a relatively new problem; as recently as two weeks ago I was able to run ASDM with no problem. I suspect that the latest security-related Java updates have caused something to break.
Any ideas?

Solved this one on my own: The solution was to install the latest ASDM, 7.1.1_52. (This had occurred to me, but I didn't know if was compatible with the older ASA 8.2(2). It looks like it is!)

SDDM 4 EA3: Unable to launch the Java Virtual Machine (Win 7 64bit)

SQL Developer v4 EA3 is working fine, but I decided to download the stand-alone SQL Developer Data Modeler because I had seen people recommending using it in favor of the one bundled with SQLDEV.
Windows 7 64-bit
Java (64 bit) installed into C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_25
When I double-click the short-cut to start SDDM I get the following pop-up dialog error:
Title: Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler
Unable to launch the Java Virtual Machine
Located at path:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_25\bin\msvcr100.dll
***NewsFlash***
I think I stumbled on the solution just prior to posting, so here is what worked for me in case anyone else runs into this....
I had created a desktop short-cut to "C:\Program Files\datamodeler\datamodeler.exe", which I am guessing is the 32bit version of the binary file.
I was able to launch successfully by pointing to "C:\Program Files\datamodeler\datamodeler64.exe"

That path is incorrect - strip everything after the jdk1.7.0_45\

TS1277 Unable to launch itunes from my PC. Get an error stating MSVCR80.dll is missing and need to re-install itunes. I've reinstalled numerous times...still not working. What should I do?

I'm currently unable to launch itunes from my PC. I get an error message stating that MSVCR80.dll is missing. It recommends that I re-install itunes and that may correct the issue. I've re-installed numerous times and nothing seems to be working. What should I do?

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

LLVM ERROR: Error: Unable to launch the Java Virtual Machine

Having expanded the kit and followed directions to compile the samples
On Windows 7, the complaint is

I eventually fixed the rest of the samples build process by cleaning up my path.
In run.bat, before the path modification

Launch exe from remote machine

Hi All,
How can I launch an executable residing in machine A from machine B?
I'm trying web services but no luck.
Am I the wrong track?
Thanks a lot

What does "I'm trying web services but no luck." mean? As I see it, you have two separate things to accomplish here. One is the launchiing of the executable locally. The other is the triggering of that event remotely. Deal with one, then the other. Much simpler. That is, encapsulate the launching in a single method call, then work on calling it remotely. Then your problem is simply "How do I call a method remotely?", and entirely decoupled from details such as "launch exe from remote machine"

Launching applications from an applet

How do you launch applications from an applet? For example,launch a notepad exceutable when you click on a button (an awt component)?

Hi,
you can launch an application from the applet using the Java RunTime environment.
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(applicationName);
But to do this the applet needs permissions.It should be a trusted applet.
