I've suddenly been struck by this one too:

Whenever I try and view a jar with Winzip I get a
Java Virtual Machine Launcher pop up saying:
"Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from ...."

I can recall doing three specific things:
1) Uninstalling Esset Anti Virus..
2) Downloading Microsoft update KB892130
3) Installing JVM plugin from Firefox...

I was confused about the last point, since I thought Firefox would have shared same JVM I already had installed.
I downloaded following file that gives you whole EE5 pack including Glassfish... java_app_platform_sdk-5_04-windows.exe

I normally use IE7 but have been developing some java applets and tried launching from Firefox instead because of some odd results...
When it tried to install the first time it failed. So I tried a manual install and this crashed and sent a log report to Firefox folks..
A tell tale since was advertising for Open Office.Org during install...

After install I suddenly get the aforementioned message when trying to open jar files..

I since also noticed some odd new settings in environment variables...
Notably:
__COMPAT_LAYER=EnableNXShowUI
After uninstalling ES/SET paranoid person that I am I checked computer settings and on Remote tab unchecked allow remote assistance invitations to be sent to this computer. So I don't know if this last part is related to new env var...

Java -version shows:

java version "1.6.0_05"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_05-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 10.0-b19, mixed mode, sharing)


I've tried going through all 5 pages of this thread.
My classpath does include '.' amongst other things I've added.
What am I supposed to be checking in Registry with respect to:
hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run
And
hkey_c urrent_user\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run
??
Any help would be gratefully appreciated

I was able to remedy this by doing a system restore...
Removed Java 6 Update 5 install by restoring to an earlier save point.
In process it renamed the following flie
C:\Documents & Settings\<User>\Local Settings\Application\Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\gygb63x3.default cache to cache(2).
This did the trick...
Still intrigued to know answer to odd new environment var though...

xpiinstall.exe This was the program that Firefox downloads when you attempt to find plug in for Java.
I have a sneaky suspicion this may have done something to my pc because I can't get Applets to work any more on my pc...
It's 374KB
