#4 Unable to launch EAS console. (easconsole.jnlp file issue)

When trying to open the EAS Console in my pc, i get the popup as to Save or Open the file 'easconsole.jnlp'
Though I save/Open it, it does no good and repeatedly asks the same thing.

Solution: Just right click on the easconsole.jnlp file and open with -> Go to the java path where you have the file javaws.exe (In my case the path is : C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin)

This will open the file as below:







Explanation:
The JNLP(Java Network Launching Protocol) file format is used by Java to launch and manage various Java applications over a network or on the Internet.  The files are actually comprised of a group of protocols that define the specific requirements of a JAVA launching mechanism.

Unlike typical web applets, JNLP files are not run within a user's Web browser. These files are actually downloaded onto a user's computer and are then run as normal Java applications. The files are used only for stand-alone applications.  (Source: file.org)

Javaws.exe is a web start utility. It is used to launch a java application that is distributed through web.
It is a process file from company Oracle Corporation belonging to product Java(TM) Platform SE which starts Java(TM) Web Start Launcher. The file is digitally signed from Sun Microsystems, Inc.
