I know its a stupid question but I can't find the answer.

How do I install jEdit on XP for ALL users?

I installed jEdit on XP as administrator.

Normal users have "Open with jEdit" on the context menu but jEdit won't run.

This is what I have tried:

a) Installing jEditLauncher as user

Run jEdit.exe, say yes to install jEditLauncher, point at my java executable

Result ==> "JEdit.JEditLauncher - The system cannot find the file specified."

b) User reinstalls jEdit himself.

Install appears to complete OK.

Result ==> Still no Start Menu Entry, no shortcut on desktop, no jEditLauncher, no GO

c) set jedit parameters (http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=718007)

I didn't try this because I have no idea what it means.

d) Run jEdit.jar

This works but the context menus still don't work. Since I almost always launch jEdit
from the context menus, this is not really satisfactory.

e) Manually edit registry

Logon as Administrator, run RegEdit, export HKEY_CURRENT_USER/software/www.jedit.org =>jedit.reg
Logon as unprivileged user, run Regedit import jedit.reg into HKEY_CURRENT_USER/software

This appears to work. But users shouldn't have to edit the registry.
