[IDV #VHX-241808]: Can't launch IDV via webstart

Hi Anne-

> I'm having trouble launching the IDV via webstart.   The error is this:
> 
> Unable to launch J2RE 1.5.0_02 Installer.  Unsigned application
> requesting unrestricted access to system.

> What should I do to fix this?

The problem is that your browser is set up to run an old version of
Web Start (1.0.1) and a JRE of 1.3.1.  The IDV requires Java 1.4 so
it WebStart is trying to download a new version of Java that is compatible.
Your system does not allow you to install it where it wants to, thus the
error.

The solution is to change the browser to point to a 1.4 or later version of Java
Web Start.  When the dialog comes up asking how to launch the JNLP file,
use the selector to find the java web start program (javaws) in the jre/javaws 
directory of a later release of java on your system.

You also should clear out your old ~/.javaws directory since it will be
incompatible with the new java web start.
