dmrdecode_b68 (won't stay open)

[Saint]

I have Java on my computer, and when I double click on dmrdecode_b68 the program opens up in the dos window and then closes in about 3 seconds, What am I doing wrong, is there another way to open this program so it will stay open and run.

Saint,

I believe I made a mistake in my last post. Instead of selecting the "java" binary, try selecting the "javaw" binary in your Java installation folder. Sorry for the slip-up.

DMR Decode should not be opening in a command prompt window, it has its own GUI. If it is, then you probably don't have Java installed on your system, or the .jar file type is not associated with Java.

Download and install the latest version of Java...reboot after installation, and see if double clicking dmrdecode_b68.jar works at that point.

I go to the Java web site and try and dowload Java and I am told I already have in on my computer, I go to directory (programs file (x86)) and I find the Java Directory and associate dmrdecode with Java And the program still won't run ??,

I tried associating it with java.exe instead of javaw.exe and got the same problem as you. I didn't know it until now, but there is a difference between the two.

Yep I tried everything I can think of and still nothing, must have something to do with my computer or something.

Try running it in a DOS window with the -jar option.

java -jar dmrdecode_b68.jar

You might find that there's no path to the java executable. If that's the case, find where java.exe is hiding and specify the full path to it:

c:\progra~1\java\jre7\bin\java -jar dmrdecode_b68.jar

Running it in a DOS window will allow you to see any errors.

First thanks for all the help Chauffeur6 and Mike, I now have DMRDECODE working, I had to uninstall java that I had on my computer and then go in and use CC Cleaner to clean all references to Java on my machine, Then went to Java.com and it installed Java 7 update 25 64-bit on my computer, i rebooted the computer and double click on the DMRDECODE file and it is working now, thanks so much for all the feed back and help guys it really makes a difference when you have some helping you with problems like this.
