  1. Opening a JAR file in Windows 10?


    Hi, hope I am posting this to the right forum section.

    I have this JAR file downloaded and of course, it needs Java in order to open it.
    In Windows 10, is there any way to find out if I have Java installed?
    Or, can Windows 10 open up JAR files natively?

    If not, then how can I know if I have Java installed on Windows 10?
    In Windows 7, it was easier to know.

    Thanks

    :)

  2. How to change default programs to open .jar files in Windowws 10?

    Alternately, try my REG file/fix here.

    I can't open .jar files - Microsoft Community :

    (or)

    .Jar Files only executable trough CMD terminal java -jar - Microsoft Community :

    The hex values translate to the following:

    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe" -jar "%1"

    That's the command-line path used to open JAR files, usually. If the path or version number varies, you may have to edit the registry manually and update the value data.

  4. Opening a JAR file in Windows 10?

    If you did an upgrade,chances are high that you would have Java installed.Control Panel>Java would confirm you this.
    Isn't the JAR file opening?

  5. I would say look in folder c:\program files or c:\program files (x86); if you find an folder Java\jre xxx\bin with java.exe in it you have Java installed.

    It's even easier than that to check for Jave: Open control panel - has an entry if installed.

    From it's CP you can update and after that it should associate.

    Windows cannot natively open jar files.
