    This is HTPC related, but the problem is pretty much a Windows issue I’ve been unable to resolve.  I have BDSup2Sub installed, but I can’t get it to launch via a double-click.  I’ve tried everything I could think of and searched endlessly online to no avail.  I tried getting help [url=http://www.curtpalme.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=256168&sid=35313ed2e80cb30738c4c9978034cc6f#256168]here[/url] and [url=http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1412486#post1412486]here[/url], but haven’t had much luck.

    To sum up, here’s the situation in a nutshell (reposted from the 2nd link, above):

    [quote]I’m having trouble getting this to run via double-clicking the jar file. Any time I try that I get a message of “Could not find the main class: C:\BDSup2Sub\BDSup2Sub.jar. Program will exit.” If I place BDSup2Sub.jar in my java installation directory and open a command line, I can type “java -jar BDSup2Sub.jar” and it executes without issue. But, double-clicking the BDSup2Sub.jar file never works, nor does dropping it onto the java.exe or javaw.exe. I installed/reinstalled both the 32-bit and 64-bit JREs (Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit), then tried installing them outside of C:\Program Files*, just to see if some security setting might be causing the issue. I also right-clicked the .jar and “unblock”ed it, since Windows said it came from another computer. I also edited the system paths for Windows to include the java directories and .jar extensions. Still nothing.[/quote]

    I also have ensured that .jar files are associated with java.exe or javaw.exe, but that has not helped.  Anyone have some ideas?  I’ve spent countless hours on this since Saturday, but have made zero progress.

    Thanks!
