did they set the permission to run the file?

They should download java 7 because java is needed to run jar files. When done, run the launcherXXX.jar file.
Downloads:
- Notepad++ MapTool addon
- RPEdit details (v1.3)
- Coding Tips: Modularity and Design
- Videos: Macro Writing Tools

Occasionally an overzealous archiver decides to handle jar files (instead of letting java do that) as jar files are glorified zip-files. So if you install such an archiver *after* installing java, you need to fix the "default handler".

Has the Windows 8.1 machine got Java 8 installed?
If so that may be the problem. I have just hit that same issue.
I was attempting to use the online instance only to find that Java 8 blocks the use of self-signed applications even when the site is added to the Exceptions list for Java security.
