Java and START in Batch

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
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.

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

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
