I'm not too adept with the inner workings with Java and all that but any time I try and open the launcher with Java, the prompt window blips on the screen then disappears with no apparent effect (no other windows open or anything like that).
I'm at a loss for what to do.
Could be a few things, but try this: click on your Start icon and type CMD in there, you should get the command line as one of the results, right-click it and run it as administrator; once you're at the command line type CD, a space, and then the full path to where your XMage launcher is (C:\something\something etc.), and press enter, this will
Change
Directory to the one where your launcher is so that whatever commands you use apply to that specific folder; next copy the following command and press enter again:
- Code: Select all
java -jar XMageLauncher-0.3.8.jar
This will try to make Java open that file (the launcher), and if for some reason it can't it
should say why, and that might lead this mystery somewhere. Or it might just launch XMage, in which case all the better.
