#248 Error when calling the wiki from a network directory

[Richard Wenzl]

When the wiki is placed in a network directory which has both read and write permissions the exceptions below occur and the wiki cannot even be viewed.

Running it from a directory on a local hard disk works as expected.

After renaming the .html to a .hta file so that it is opened as a HTML application on Windows using mshta.exe the wiki works as expected. But this is only a workaround for Windows.

The strange thing is that a missing JRE is reported although the verification of a working java installation using the following test is successful:
