Installing the Desktop Launcher

To install and run the Desktop Launcher:

1. Open a browser and go to http://<platform host>:<platform port>/launch/desktop/launcher
   
   
   

2. Download the Desktop Launcher (jar or exe file).
   
   
   

3. Double-click the downloaded file.

If you choose to run an .exe file, you can download it from the software package that you receive in  <package name>/release/complete/desktop/launcher/bundles/.

Windows associates  .jar  files with a Java version. This decides which Java version the desktop installer runs 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 is detected automatically.
