Java and START in Batch

[YaYaBinks3]

Hello all!
I'm trying to start a jar file using the java command, I'm planning on making an exe file that runs and runs a batch file that THEN runs a batch file thats inside the jarfile's folder.

Batch file 1:

Code: Select all

@echo off 
cls
START /B C:\Users\BillyV\AppData\Roaming\.techniclauncher\RunTekkit.bat
EXIT

Batch file 2:

Code: Select all

@ECHO OFF
java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar technic-launcher.jar
EXIT

It's extremely simple, but yet, it doesn't work. BF2 works when I double click it.
It throws

Code: Select all

Unable to access jarfile technic-launcher.jar

.
Why? And can anyone help?

BF2 inherits the working directory from BF1. Begin the 2nd BF with line

Code: Select all

@echo off &cd /d "%~dp0"

to change the working directory.

BTW: Forget about all EXIT commands and change your START line instead

Code: Select all

START "" /B cmd /c "%appdata%\.techniclauncher\RunTekkit.bat"

Thanks. I'll try this when I have access to a computer.
I use my EXIT command because I'm going to use iexpress.exe and make an exe file to open batch file 1 (which is put in the temp file) to run batch file 2. Then I can pin the exe to my start menu and use it like that.

Thanks. It SORT of worked.
It comes up with all the Java help... why?

The java command has a syntax error or the file cannot be found in the working directory.

That is usually when the help screen is displayed.

How do I fix it?

Code: Select all

@echo off &cd /d "%~dp0"
java -cp .;technic-launcher.jar
PAUSE

That's bat file 2

[foxidrive]

How do I fix it?

Code: Select all

java -cp .;technic-launcher.jar

That line looks wrong.

[YaYaBinks3]

Then how do I fix that

[foxidrive]

Read the help in the java.exe

[YaYaBinks3]

Fixed.
Thanks you guys. Now I can make an exe which runs a bat (from a temp file) and then starts a java. The old exe broke! I can change the icon of the exe too
