Minimwatch not starting

[MarcelZ]

MinimWatch is now starting normally on my machine. This is how I fixed it:

Go to Start>MinimServer and right click MinimWatch. Select Properties from the menu.
Go to General TAB>Opens with and click Change
Click Browse and navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_45\bin
Select javaw and click Open. Click OK

Hope this works for Hungryhalibut as well.

What was "Opens with" set to before you made this change?

[MarcelZ]

It looked the same, I.e.: "Java™ Platform SE binary", but obviously it wasn't.

Hurrah! Marcel, you are a hero. Many thanks to you and of course to Simon for your help.

However if I go to Minimwatch via Windows Explorer the only think in lib is a folder called ohnet. There is no sign of mwatch.jar.

Is this the issue?

This is definitely not correct.

What files (if any) are in the folder named ohnet?

Is there a folder named "C:\Program Files\MinimWatch\lib"? If so, what does this contain?

Sorry Simon - you must have found my post before I edited it. My son, who is much cleverer than me, found the file. All is working. Many thanks!
