I want to download something for Minecraft, but I can't start the .jar files when I click on them. The files don't have the Java symbol as usual, but something strange, so I suspect that somehow it doesn't want to start with Java. It always asks me which program I want to start with and doesn't suggest any.
You clever minds can surely help me, right?
Download Java ("Windows Offline (64-Bit)") here:
https://www.java.com/...manual.jsp
And then do it
Right click on the file
Click on "Open with"
and then select Java
Download the latest Java.
Then you have to go to extended or whatever and look for the program there, i.e. The java.exe
Unzip it with winzip or winrar and see what's inside
And what does that bring him?
He wants to run the file. E.g. With
java -jar filepath.jar
or simply by opening it with → Java. Surely it sounds familiar to you.
I have nothing to do with java
But I did not lie, nothing happened
Open up cmd and enter
java version
Will you then see a version? Or that you have nothing called "java"?
If you can see a version, then you have Java. Then try opening the jar file like this:
Go to their folder
Enter "cmd" (without the quotation marks) for the folder at the top of the search bar.
Then cmd opens with the folder as the path
Then enter in the CMD:
java -jar the name of your file.jar
See what comes next, or whether it can be carried out. You are welcome to report back if there's an error.
Have already tried that with a .bat file. Nothing happens
Then you probably downloaded something wrong.
What is it about exactly?
