Post by Renegade1 »

If you don't tell us what exactly you did, we can't help you.

You have to install Java Runtime.

And then you can hit the play button on the homepage. The client will download then.

Do you want to save this file?

Type: unknown file type, 1.79 kb

From: illarion.org

I saved it and try to open it Now it shows this

Windows cannot open this file:

File: illarion_client.jnlp

to open this file windows need to know what program created it. windows can go online to look it up automatically, or you can manually select from a list of programs on you computer.

What you want to do?

0 use the web service to find the appropriate program.(Don't work)

0 select program from list.

when I click the first choice nothing happen, and the second choice just moves it.

You need the java runtime engine (with webstart) to start it. If you don't has this, you can't open it. If you have it, you can open it. Simple thing.
