Information for Netscape "Unknown Application" Errors
There is a known bug with some versions of Netscape where the launcher does
not register itself with the browser when the launcher is installed. You will
see an error message mentioning an "unknown application type." To
fix this error, follow the instructions below:
- On the menu bar of the browser, select OPTIONS.
- Select GENERAL PREFERENCES.
- Select the tab for HELPERS.
- Click on the button CREATE NEW TYPES.
- For MIME TYPE, type in the word application
- For MIME SUBTYPE, type in the following, x-simutronics-auto-launch.
- Click OK.

of the HELPER tab. (click on it to highlight)
- In the lower portion of the tab, click on the white dot next to "Launch
the Application."
- Below that, click on the BROWSE button and locate the application. The launcher
application is named Launcher.exe if you are using Windows 95 and Launch16.exe
if you are using Windows 3.1. It should be located in the Simu directory,
though it may be elsewhere depending on where you chose to download it to.
When you have found the launcher, highlight it and click OPEN.
