Depends on what you downloaded. If you got the .exe, the application should appear in the start menu after you've clicked through the setup. If you got the .jar, there will be no start menu integration, but you should be able to simple double-click the .jar. If you downloaded something else, I'd recommend downloading the .exe...

I did download the exe file and launh it from startup but all I get is a blank window open and them it closes. I uninstalled it and redownloaded the exe with the same results.
OK, so it doesn't even get that far. In that case you can either you can either try a dev-build (because I have a strong suspicion that it's one of the known issues that has been fixed there), or you can get the jar and execute it manually in the console (java -jar jNetMap.jar) and see the error that way.

dev-build jNetmap-0.5.5-685 does the same. Here is what is in the directory for the application. I know when I installed it in the begining I had to associate the application to java because Windows didn't know what to run it under.
Good, so in the application directory, type "cmd" into the address bar. This will open the command line window with the appropriate dir already set. Then type "java -jar jNetMap.jar" and the window will stay open so we can see what's going wrong...

OK, I was able to run the java command from the director and the application runs. Is it something with the windows version or my laptop setup that makes it not run in the exe?

Great! Yeah I suspect it's something with the setup, perhaps jar-files aren't associated with java? If it is, you should be able to simply double-click on the jar and the program will launch - if it's not, right-click on the jar and check if Properties > Open With is set to Java.

... or you could check out the latest dev snapshot, I just changed the way it launches on Windows, so it shouldn't rely on jars being associated with the Java Runtime anymore.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
It fails when I double click or right click Open the jar file. Nothing shows like the exe in the logfile.txt. So this is the java file associated with it that I picked. Is it the wrong java.exe?
The association looks ok, but I can't see the entire name on the screenshot so I'm not totally sure. Have you tried the latest jNetMap-0.5.5-686?
Edit: The name looks the same on my Win10 test system, so that should be fine...

So, I read all the way down this thread and discovered that.5.5-686 still isn't the current download, but I followed the links and found it. Windows and Defender both gave me dire warnings. And, at least I get a Jnetmap app screen now, but there is no actual map, the screen is white paper. So, I poked around and tried a "port scan" which crashed the app and will not let me close it. I'm off to find the task manager shortcut to kill it......... Found it, but jnetmap isn't listed, just java. Killing that gave me my computer back.
I'll check back in a month or two to see if this app works for Win 10.

I can't help you with the Windows Defender thing, but I'm interested in the lockup in the port scan. Can you try to produce some detailed log files (see http://www.rakudave.ch/jnetmap/?file=contact)?

On my windows 11 it works (can save) only if I install jre-8u401-windows-x64 not from link on your website but from https://www.java.com/de/download/manual.jsp Windows Offline (64 Bit)

I have updated the wording on the website and linked both. I was just tired of Oracles recent licensing stunts, so I don't want to recommend them anymore.

Looks like an exception is thrown - can you attach the log file, located in your user's home directory under .jNetMap/logfile.txt?

I don't see that directory under my home directory. I even searched for logfile.txt under C: and it comes up with nothing

the only latest version I can download from here 0.5.4
I don't upload every dev build here, but it's linked on the website: http://rakudave.synology.me/jnetmap
Great, I downloaded the 0.5.5-686 and it runs like it should. Thanks for getting this working for me.
