App Name | Shimeji |
Version | 4.0 |
Update | 2018-11-16 |
Requirement | Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10 |
Optional Parameter | Description |
/64 | On Windows x64 you can have both a 32 bit JRE and/or a 64 bit JRE installed. By default jarfix searches for the 32 bit JRE first and if a 32 bit JRE is not found it continues to search for the 64 bit JRE. With the /64 option you tell jarfix to search only for the 64 bit JRE/JDK. |
/a | Option /a adds the menu item called 'Run as..' (Windows XP) respectively 'Run as administrator' (Windows Vista and Windows 7) to the context menu of the Windows Explorer in order to execute .jar files also with administrator permissions. That can be useful for Java based installers that are stored in the .jar-format, because usually those installers want to write to the Windows program directory where normal users haven't write permissions by default. |
/h | prints some help (version, author, syntax) and quits the program. |
/i | sets an alternative icon for .jar files (only necessary for older JREs). |
/k | forces a search in the Windows Registry for a JDK only. That option skips the search for a JRE. |
/l | creates a symbolic link called 'latest', that points to the JRE/JDK that jarfix can find. An alternatively name of the link can be specified by using an .ini file. See also the section called 'Optional configuration file'. |
/s | runs jarfix silently (without any dialogs). That can be useful if jarfix should be launched by a different program or if you want to run jarfix by the Windows' autostart feature. |
/u | restores the .jar-association for the current user account only. You can use that option if you don't have admin permissions on the computer. The option can be also useful if you are admin and if you actually want to use a different JRE than all other users on the computer. |
/x | extracts four files and quits the program. The files which are being extracted are: a) jarfix-license.txt, the license of jarfix; b) jarfix.ini, a sample configuration file for the /c option; c) jartest.jar, a tiny Java programcalled Jartest which you can use in order to test the .jar-association; d) jartest-license.txt, the license of Jartest |
/z | forces a search in the Windows Registry for a JDK only from Azul Systems that has been installed latest using the .msi. That option skips the search for a JRE/JDK from Oracle. |
