Not Launching secondary applications

[Griffarin]

i started getting java exception errors and reset all settings in updater menu and that cleared the exception report but after doing so when you click on the launchbutton after update it no longer launches the EQ2 launcher or any secondary application.

Yep, posted this in another thread but I'm having the same issue. Kind of annoying as I have it set up to launch my EQ2Map auto updater, which then launches my ACT and EQ2. Since its not triggering the EQ2Map updater, I have to remember to click it myself, and I'm old and forget =( LOL!

You probably have an old version of Java, and need to update it before the ProfitUI Updater will work. See: http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

Yeah... no, I don't. I just updated it before this problem started.

There's been repeated weirdness with the Profit updater when updating Java. I avoid the automatic updates and do it manually, downloading the JRE from java.com and installing it manually. Profit's not a real application in the sense it's installed independently on your computer, it's a collection of classes that lives in the Java code cache and are downloaded on demand. Anything that messes up the cache can mess up the updater.

One possible fix is to fire it up through updater.pala.de and use the Reset Shortcuts or Reset All Settings options. If worst comes to worst you may need to use it's Uninstall option to remove it, go into your user "AppData\Roaming\ProfitUI Reborn Updater" folder and delete everything, then reinstall the updater. That's kind of extreme, you need to remember to note down ignored files, selected variants and so on before you do that, but it clears up the more extreme weirdness.

Things I did and this still persists:
Installed and uninstalled Java using Chrome, Firefox and IE - All versions did not launch secondary applications
Deleted my Profit folder and reinstalled - No secondary applications
Uninstalled Profit from the updater, and reinstalled - No secondary applications
Reset all settings on Updater and restarted - No secondary applications
Downloaded and installed both 64 bit and 32 bit offline Java downloads (I use 64 bit Win 7) - No secondary applications

So, not sure what else to do, it simply is not working anymore and it was working before. I know you don't deal directly with the installer, but since installing the updated Java 7, it no longer launches secondary applications, so something has changed and should be corrected, or that option removed if there isn't a way to fix it.
