Bug description:
When I run javaws provided by open jdk it crashes with (I can only see this error in the console):
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
	at net.sourceforge.jnlp.runtime.InstallDialog.<init>(InstallDialog.java:58)
	at net.sourceforge.jnlp.runtime.InstallDialog.getInstallDir(InstallDialog.java:153)

The link in the menu which opens the viewer works ok.

I tried just running javaws as well point it towards a few webstart apps and the result is the same.
