This is a problem which occurs during start of the application in the
Java runtime environment.

I am not very familiar with Windows specialities.
But I recall that the ...~... notation is used to map directories
with long names into the 8+3 name space of old Windows programs.
For those old 8+3 names there was, if I recall that correctly, just
one dot allowed in a directory name. But your j2re1.4.1_05 has two of
them. Maybe this mix causes the problem to find the jar file.

My suggestion:
Try to expand the Arquiv~1 name to the full directory name in the bat
script.
If that does not help, try to find out the shortened name of
j2re1.4.1_05 and insert that instead.

Maybe this helps,
