In the desktop icon's Shortcut Tab, I see

Target type: JAR File
Target location: lib
Target: "C:\Program Files\MinimWatch\lib\mwatch.jar"
Start in: "C:\Program Files\MinimWatch\lib"

On the slightly brighter side, the Melco now shows up in Windows Explorer as Minimserver(N1-0944), so the Server installation seems to have worked.

The problem is caused by having JAR File instead of Executable Jar File. This can happen if the .jar extension was previously associated to a different program before you installed Java.

What happens if you uninstall Java? Is there still an entry for .jar in the file associations list? If so, what do you see in the Description and Current Default columns?
