Hi,
did you copy the shortcut of Express or is it still the original one created by the installation?
JRE updated invalidate the shortcut, if copied, because it updates the original one.
In that case, open the Java panel via control panel, on first page, click temporary internet files and delete the complete cache. Then click "http://download.ariscommunity.com/express.jnlp" to reinstall.
Bye,
Frank
