Unsupported Protocol

[ehrens]

When I try to launch GE from a java app passing in a KML file, I get a Fetch of ... failed. Unsupported Protocol error.

But, when I do File>Open in GE of that same file, it works fine.

Anybody know what the problem is?

We have had many people trying to do exactly that, and all of them report the same error, so I'm afraid we arent going to be much help... if you look back through a couple of pages in this forum you'll see another 2 or 3 threads on the topic that never got resolved

You're on your own on this one, good luck! (you could try over at GEC (http://bbs.keyhole.com), too)

Thanks for the response....

Yeah, I tried GEC but haven't had much luck getting any kind of response in that community.

If I changed the script that was launching GE to simply....


set executable="C:\Documents and Settings\axe130\Application Data\Google\Google Earth\GoogleEarth.exe"

set geConfigFile=D:\GoogleEarth\TheColosseum.kml

%executable% %geConfigFile%

It worked! I don't understand why exactly it didn't like the start GoogleEarth that I had in there, but this seems to be functioning a little better for me.
