How’s your Firewall? In Windows Firewall, I have exceptions checked for various executables labeled Java(tm) Platform SE Binary. And “Display a Notification when Windows Firewall blocks a program” is checked.

Jerome,

Actually, my windows firewall was turned off, so that couldn’t be an issue. I just turned it on, but didn’t find the exceptions for Java you mentioned.

I’ve been trying to find some sort of support for Freeplane—even a user forum—but couldn’t find one. Are you aware of any?

Thanks, again.

Steve

Folks:

I, too, had a problem with Freeplane not running if you double click the icon. I did find, though, that if you go to the installation directory (generally c:/program files/freeplane) and double click “freeplane.bat” it will run.

Good luck.

My past experience has been the same as Charles’, but with Freemind. I expect that in this regard the programs are similar.

As far as I remember, the problem indeed involved Java in a subtle way; either .jar files where not associated with Java or the Java path was somehow broken. Again, after double clicking the icon (which calls freemind.exe or freeplane.exe), nothing happened, whereas freemind.bat worked fine..

I also didn’t have trouble running other Java apps like Personal Brain and Cmap Tools, but I believe this has to do with some kind of cleverness from their part in calling Java (Cmap Tools actually includes the Java runtime in its installation, independently of one’s PC).
