I don't know diddly about Java. Yet here I am trying to get a java app to run in the browser on my machine when I'm offline. I think I have the correct version of java because when I use a web page which features the applet as an autoload when you load the page, it works. However they also have an option to download the app and use it either as a windows app or an IE application. They say if I use it as a standalone with no browser, I need the java runtime environment. That sounds like a pain in the butt since i have no interest in screwing with java whatsoever except for using this program. So I am trying to get it to run on Win Explorer. They provide a package with installer, and it sets everything up and unpacks an HTML page you merely open in IE, and supposedly then the applet runs even if you're not logged on, which is what I want. The problem is, I do so and it doesn't work. I go to read their page on using the java applet, and quickly get overwhelmed in jargon. I just want it to work! No surprise there, huh? Anyway, when I try and open the unpacked, local html file that appeared when it installed, IE shows a blank square where the app should be running, and I get the following message at the bottom.

I rechecked my typing (couldn't capture the message to the scratchpad) and realized I missed the ":" in the "c:\...." bit. Here the text. I don't see the space you are talking about, I must be blind.

If you can edit the applet source, you might change "Program Files" to "Progra~1", so Windows will use the old 8.3 means of finding files and directories. So applications have problems with spaces, and that should get around it.

OK, I checked it again and the lack of a space is my bad, I mistyped it. There is indeed a space in the suggested location. I tried running it again and noticed I get an "applet initialized" message, before the violation one. Doesn't that mean it's running?
