I need help with SvgExe -- please!

I have tried all day with NO success to use the SvgExe tool. Here is a webpage I just posted that explains details and shows graphics of each step: hermitdog.com/executable_jar.htm

What am I doing wrong?

    It shouldn't open with Chrome...

    It's a hunch, but I think the answer lies in open with.

  • I've been talking to hermitdog via email and I believe the problem is that his PATH doesn't include Java, so he can't open any jars by default.

  • Yes! And thanks very much for your help, Kevin. I ended up downloading and installing the Java Developer Kit (JDK) -- and then I edited my Path to look just like Kevin's - and then everything worked fine.

    My Path: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_51\bin

  • another "yes" to Matyze's "The answer lies in open with --- "

    Right-clicking on the jar, then "open with" Java does the trick. One can also tell the computer to open all .jar files with Oracle's Java --- and shouldn't need to right-click and "open with" after that. Thanks, Matyze.
