How do you run a Java UI application as a Group Custom User Inteface for windows (Possibly using Group Policies)?


I've tried setting the Custom User Interface GPO option to

java -jar GyroUI.jar

as well as using the full path

C:\Program Files\jre7\bin\java.exe -jar GyroUI.jar

But neither seem to result in anything except the desktop background.

I know this works normally as I can run the jar file just fine using the command prompt, and I get the UI as expected.


Solution

  • C:\Program Files\jre7\bin\java.exe -jar "C:\Program Files\Sahara\GyroUI.jar"

    Ended up being the solution, the problem was being caused by the application crashing, not by the shell failing to launch.
