Collectible Card Game Headquarters

i have windows 10, newest version of java, re downloaded the launcher. i click open the launcher and get the said error. the code line to the file location is the right one. firewall/antivirus is not blocking it. help

Seems that for some reason you try to execute the launcher jar without the option -jar.

So do the following:
1) Open a command window.
2) Set the current directory to the directory the launcher jar file is located.
3) If you enter now:
java -version
and push the enter key, the java version should be shown. So you're sure java is installed and available.
4) To start the launcher enter:
java -jar XMageLauncher-0.3.8.jar
and push the enter key, that should start the launcher. (So you're fine).
5) The error message you say you get now you would get if you enter:
java XMageLauncher-0.3.8.jar
and push enter. The difference is, that the "-jar" option is missing.

So it seems the definition that connects jar file to the java application is wrong on your system, not using the -jar option for opening jar files.

these are picks of what happened, and my file directory

You need to set the directory to the C:\Users\Griff\Desktop\Games\xmage directory before entering the commands.

If you are located to C:\Users\Griff\ enter cd Desktop to switch to that subdirectory. And so on until you are located in the xmage directory.

Also I edited the wrong "java -v" to the correct "java -version" in my post.


After that enter the commands written in my post and report the results.

this was with my anti virus and firewall turned off btw, and sorry for the delay. dealing with midterms

I misspelled the launcher name (I edited now in the old post).

So enter
java -jar XMageLauncher-0.3.8.jar
and it should work.

thank you it worked! is there anyway to make it launch properly or will have to go into the cmd every time now

So far I understand this, it's not the fault of xmage.

The problem is how your system tries to execute jar files if you click on them.
So you need to change/fix that to be able to start the xmage Launcher by clicking on the related icon.
