1 - Install Java Run-time with WebStart. Reports
completion OK.
2 - Reboot (Windows)
3 - Click on link "Click here to Install & Run HotSheet"
on page:
http://www.johnmunsch.com/projects/HotSheet/
4 - I never get the security warning dialog
5 - Instead within the WebStart (1.2) process I get:
5.1 - First time: "Unable to install."
5.2 - Subsequent attempts: "Unable to run application"
5.3 - In both cases, a dialog box follows with: "An
Unsigned application s requesting unrestricted access
to your system."
6 - I never see the dialog you provide on your web
site. Something similar, but it _bypasses_ the
opportunity to say "OK, go ahead." Dialog I see has
only an "abort" button.
Data from "Webstart" loader follows:
Java WebStart Security Error > General

Java WebStart Security Error > Console
Java Web Start 1.2 Console, started Mon Jun 02

WebStart demo apps from Sun download and run
successfully. This may be a bug vs. support issue.

Additional diagnostic info:
- Sun demo WebStart apps execute; so Java, and
WebStart both seem to be functioning.
- WebStart application manager shows HotSheet
application in place. So it thinks it's present.
This may be a bug, vs. a support request.

Remove / reinstall works just fine. Some kind of glitch on
install - who knows. Now to figure out how to close this
tracker entry . . .
