"launch url" not working on all windows machines

Post by cbarnhart » Tue Jul 29, 2014 7:55 pm

I have a cross-platform app that has a resource area. Click on an image it launches the url to pdf doc. It has been working well, but for some reason, on a couple windows machines the external browser does not launch. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Maybe there is no default handler for "http://".

What happens if you go to the Start menu, Click Run, type http://mysite/mydoc.pdf and hit Enter?
