#54 Unable to start Kmttg directly - Java issue?

[TivoGuy]

Used and loved Kmttg for years. I've just migrated to a new PC, installed Kmttg and am unable to start it simply by clicking directly on the .jar file. Nothing happens. However, if I use the "java -jar kmttg.jar" command from a command prompt, it starts up normally,but then the command prompt window is also still up.

Have Java 8 update 144 installed. Have also gone into the Windows 10 file associations and specifically associated .jar with javaw.

Any assistance appreciated.

Re-install Java will likely fix it.
You can also make a desktop shortcut that executes:
javaw -jar c:\full\path\to\kmttg.jar

(javaw instead of java to avoid extra cmd window from popping up)

I've re-installed Java twice, still same issue. I will try the desktop
shortcut. Thanks.
