I can't get the server to run.

[pieatopian]

I have watched many installation videos i follow them exactly but when i try to run the launch.bat that should start the server but when i do it it says

C:\Users\Amber\Desktop\Voltz>java -Xmx3G -Xms1G -jar Voltz.jar nogui

'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

C:\Users\Amber\Desktop\Voltz>pause

Press any key to continue . . .

and when i press any key it just goes away so i do not know what is wrong and need help i have windows 8 and an asus computer

It's trying to tell you that you need to have Java installed. The JRE is required to run Minecraft/Voltz. Preferably, Java 7.

Google is your friend! Do a google search for Java, and I garauntee you'll find it, just like anything else. It's the very first result.

Are you just downloading it, or did you actually install it?

i installed it

[Vakisari]

I'd try rebooting, if you haven't already. For some reason, the installer is not registering the java executive's location in your environment variables in Windows. I would imagine it's an issue with Windows 8, but I've never had Java not do that. :(

Also, make sure that you have a 'java.exe' in C:\Windows\System32 and/or one in your C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder, depending on whether you are running the x86 or x64 version of Windows.

i do not have java.exe in either of them so would i just need to move it or do i have to redownload java into that folder

Well, the installer should have put them there. If they aren't there, then it isn't installing properly. Why that is the case depends on a lot of things. When you downloaded it, which browser did you download it with? Internet Explorer? Chrome?

Ah. I would run the installer as an administrator, that may help. Right-click on the installer package and click 'Run As Administrator'. See if that helps.

on The server file or just the launch.bat

Hey Pieatopian, here's a tip that will help you out for the rest of your computer using life. When you get an error like

'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Simply copy this error, and paste it into a search engine like Google.

Now simply click the first few links, and try to find a solution that sounds reasonable.

I meant run the installer for Java as an administrator. You can't use Voltz or Minecraft ANYTHING until you get Java working properly, first.

And yeah, take WarpSpeed's advice on the Google search. Google is your friend!
