Installing Mirth on a machine w/o internet connection

[kaaijk]

Mirth has already proven itself on my local machine, but I want to enable my fellow developers to use it as well. So I placed it on our development server. I get to the point where I click 'Launch Mirth Administrator', but then Mirth wants to connect to the internet to get JRE 1.5. This is not possible, this machine is not registered on the domain, so I can't use the proxy to go to the internet. Also I can't register it on the domain myself, not being a domain admin and all.

I compare my machines Java installation (JRE 1.5 update 6, 9 and 10) and mimicked this on the server (USB-stick with each update on it), but no result. Can Mirth be started w/o an internet connection? Is there a way to stop Mirth from downloading JRE 1.5 (it's on that machine already)

I'm running the latest Mirth (1.3.2) and my server is a Microsoft Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition (SP 1)

Re: Installing Mirth on a machine w/o internet connection

Mirth probably isn't downloading the JRE it is downloading its own webstart JNLP.

You should be able to run the Mirth-client.jnlp directly from your usb stick by double clicking it.

Re: Installing Mirth on a machine w/o internet connection

I&#039;ve tried to run Mirth-Client.jnlp, but it reports &#039;The field <icon> href has an invalid value: &#039;Mirth_Logo_64.jpg&#039;. I&#039;ve tried running it from an USB-stick and from the folder where Mirth is installed same result.

Below you&#039;ll find the complete error text, it&#039;s long but just to be thorough.
