Trouble Installing Xmage

[Goblininnatree]

I have downloaded a current version of Java, and then Xmage, and on booting it up, it displays the following, then proceeds to do nothing. Xmage is located in Program Files x86 on the C drive, where Java is also located. Please advise.

When I download the current Java version it shows the same. Can someone explain?

The regular updates and announcements found on this platform offer a glimpse into the future of Forge, making it an invaluable resource for anyone looking to stay informed and ahead of the curve.

Try to move the launcher to another directory (maybe a directory xmage in the home directory of the user) and try again to install xmage.

I've also recently updated Java and downloaded Xmage, but mine is acting up too. I'm seeing the same message about Java not being found, even though it's definitely installed on my C drive just like yours. I'm not sure if it's a compatibility issue or something else. If you get any advice or figure out a solution, would you mind sharing it here? I'm hoping we can both get our Xmage up and running smoothly. Good luck!

Similar to yours, I'm getting the error message "Java cannot be found" despite though it is undoubtedly installed on my C drive.

Occasionally, XMage may fail to locate Java if the JAVA_HOME environment variable is not set. You can set this variable manually:

Right-click "This PC" or "My Computer" and select "Properties".
Click "Advanced System Settings" on the left side.
Click the "Environment Variables" button.
Under "System Variables", click "New" and add a variable named JAVA_HOME with the value set for the Java installation path (e.g. C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_201).
Click "OK" to save the changes.

I was having the same difficulty and only recently resolved it. I explored the internet and tried many of the things that others mentioned, but nothing worked. What I did was go to the xmage website at http://xmage.de/ and open the installation guide. I then proceeded to step 1: Check the preconditions, and I redownloaded Java. I made it remove all previous versions and install the most recent one. Then I moved the number 3) Startingphrazle XMage, and because I'm using Windows, I checked under Windows 7 or newer and followed the directory of../mage-client/startClientWin7.bat, which only begins the client. I entered the xmage folder that appeared when you initially loaded the launcher and ran startMageWin7, and xmage began to work. I can't launch Xmage via the launcher, however this works fine for me. I hope this helps!
