Why do simulations run for admin but not all users?
Java simulations may also fail to start on networked computers running Windows for some users while running properly for administrators. When Java Web Start tries to launch a simulation, it attempts to cache certain files in a “cache folder”. This folder (or “directory”) is determined when Java is installed, and may point to a folder that non-administrator accounts do not have access to, resulting in a launch failure.
