You can not just mention "jarf.jar" in open tag.

I never tried this, but I think it should be like,

open=java -jar MyJar.jar
 

Also make sure classpath and other things are set.

Hi!

I too have never tried this before, but if it should work you'll have to have the java path in your PATH variable. To test if that's the case, open a command line interpreter (in Windows: Start -> Run -> "cmd", on Linux: Alt+F2 -> "xterm", on OS X I'm not sure of the exact route, but I think it's called "Terminal") and try running

java -?

If you get an output other than something like "java not found", then it won't be a problem. Otherwise you'll have to edit your PATH variable.

i also tried this way but its still not working

[Nepomuk]

Have you checked if java is in your PATH variable as I suggested? What was the result?

when i autorun this or any other file i got a notice that
G:\ not a valid win32 application

[Nepomuk]

Do you have the term "G:\" somewhere in your autorun file, the PATH variable or is the USB drive "G:\"?
