Download produces a WinRAR file instead of an executable .jar

Open jp25130 opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Describe the bug (mandatory) When downloading ns-usbloader-5.2.jar, it shows up in my Documents as ns-usbloader-5.2 in WinRAR form. Upon opening the WinRAR file, it shows as multiple folders (com, javafx, META-INF, native, etc.). I cannot locate the actual .jar file. I have downloaded Java JRE, but can't locate the application to open it with.

Information about environment (mandatory):

  • Windows 10 x64
  • Java Version 8 Update 333

Steps to reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Download ns-usbloader-5.2.jar from GitHub
  2. Application shows up as a WinRAR file with extractable folders
  3. Does not download as an executable .jar with Java

Expected behavior An executable .jar with Java

Additional context Any help is appreciated, thank you! I know very little about programming - all I've learned is from guides online.

Just change the file extension from rar to jar and it should work

You can just reinstall JRE/JDK to solve this or assign jar files manually like this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8511063/how-to-run-jar-file-by-double-click-on-windows-7-64-bit
