How to run jar program on Windows XP? Does it run normally on Windows 8?

Question

Java

Wrote a small program. I made a jar. On Windows 8 it starts in two clicks. And on Windows XP only from the command line - but it works fine. "Opened with" both java and javaw. Doesn't start. Written on Windows 8 with jdk-1.7. On Windows XP is jre-1.8. How to launch in two clicks?

Answer 1

Create a BAT file (eg jarrunner.bat) and put the following in it:

start javaw -jar %1
exit

Save the file anywhere, and then "Open with" this batch file.
