Hey, I downloaded the server from the site and followed the steps carefully, I've used many guides and been searching for a long time, but my launch.bat folder is not its normal icon instead it is the winrar icon



Now this doesn't seem like a big deal, but when I click on it, like i would when I'm trying to make the server i get this error. I can't seem to find a solution to this problem, thanks in advance to those who help.

Also I'm running on Windows 7

You should move the launch.bat file to where you want your server files to be, a good place would be your Desktop in a folder called Server (or where ever, that's just an example), rather than a temporary folder that you'll probably never find.

I've already done this, still getting the same problem.

sorry I'm not really understanding, as I'm new to this, I shift+ right click the folder with the server contents, or a folder with just lauch.bat and not all the other stuff that comes with it? or the launch. bat itself? either way It doesn't give me an option to type. Once again sorry for my lack of knowledge on this subject

This is what came up.

Thank you for your help, it is running smoothly now

My only problem is that the server does not stay up very long maybe 40 seconds, sorry for huge pics
