Thread: Problem running jar file

Hi everyone,

I'm probably going to get scalded for posting this question here - I simply don't know though where else to post it.

I have a simple problem...any willing helpers?
I am unable to launch a java based program called jMRUI 4.0 for analysis of magnetic resonance spectra. The UI simply won't load when starting the batch file. I have no issues on my old WinXP laptop but can't get it to run neither on a Win7 machine nor on my new Win8 laptop. I have even tried to run it in Virtual Box WinXP. Java 7 is installed. When I double click on the batch file, the cmd window briefly opens, then closes again. There does not seem to be any error message.
Any system resources I am missing??

The batch file reads:
java -Xss2m -mx768m -Djava.library.path=lib -jar lib/mrui.jar >log/out.log 2>&1

Let me know if I need to upload the jar file somewhere so the interested helper can have a look at it...the program is free.

Thanks and apologies in advance if this post is completely inappropriate here...

Cheers

thanks...all i get in the cmd window is the command line from the batch file. no errors. but nothing happens. same in win8 and virtualmachine winxp cmd.jpg
no idea what to do...
