When trying to lonch web start application at client machine, it is downloading the .jnlp file rather executing

Sir,
I have developed a web start java application. When I am trying to lonch at customer machine it is downloading the jnlp file rather executing.  When I looked into Control Panel\Programs\Default Programs\Set Associations the .jnlp extension file entry not exists.
Secondly, in other machines it is showing

Your security setting have blocked a self signed application from running

Please help.

Is javaws.exe even present on that box?

Self-signed no longer cuts it i'm afraid. Whoever signed it will have to resign it with a proper cert

Sir,
Thanks  for reply.

My PC doesn't have javaws.exe.

Then that's your problem. You can't associate a file extension with a program that doesn't exist on your system. Install Java

You should get the people who wrote the app to investigate auto download of the runtime in addition to signing it with a proper cert
Sir,
I am using NetBeans to develop application. Previously While building the project, I setup the property of project/web start/signing/customize/self-sign by generated key. As per your suggestion what I understood, I changed the property to Sign By a Specified key. After rebuilding , I put every thing on the root of web tomcat. The application is available to run on server itself, but unable to open the page on client machines. There it is still showing the message "Your Security settings have blocked a self-signed application from running".

Secondly, I understand your comment about javaws.exe. Please suggest me how to get that. I do understand that I do not have the basic idea about that. Please help.
