Comments
Just adding the additional information as provided by submitter: It should be noted that this is a bug when using the WebStart custom progress dialog. If the default WebStart progress dialog is used, the application starts however, if a custom progress dialog is used, the start up fails. =========================== Also suggested submitter to verify with JDk 8u172 ea build once available at: http://jdk.java.net/8/

Reported with: Java 8u162 Windows 7 and Windows 10 The Java web start example from: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorialJWS/samples/deployment/customprogress_webstartJWSProject/customprogress_webstart.jnlp fails to launch. Even the console does not show up. The other example (Dynamic Tree Demo) - https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorialJWS/samples/deployment/dynamictree_webstartJWSProject/dynamictree_webstart.jnlp works fine though. Results: ======= 8u152: OK 8u161: Fail 8u162: Fail 8u172 ea b03: OK 9.0.4: OK This is a regression in 8u161 as both examples works fine with 8u151/8u152.
