To install and run the Desktop Launcher:
- Open a browser and go to
http://<platform host>:<platform port>/launch/desktop/launcher - Download the Desktop Launcher (jar or exe file).
- Double-click the downloaded file.
If you choose to run an .exe file, you can download it from the software package that you receive under <package name>/release/complete/desktop/launcher/bundles/.
Windows associates .jar files with a Java version. This decides which Java version the desktop installer will run on. The association between filetype and program is set in the windows registry in a parameter called jar file. If you choose to run the .exe file, the correct Java version will be detected automatically.
