'The System Cannot find the Path Specified' after clicking Run.bat? O_O

Okay, okay...I am a general noob at life so spare me some pity.

I am aware the installation is really simple-I'm a veteran to modding, so I know how tough it can be.

But I'm really lost here. I followed the painfully simple set of instructions...I tried out the stable Craftbukkit first, got to where you create the Run.bat file and it created the files but after clicking the batch file the console just says 'The system cannot find the path specified'...

So I tried the normal Bukkit and the same thing happened.

What should I do?

Help on the matter will be much appreciated!

Edit: Oh, and I did try to find help directly off of Google plus this site but still no luck.

 

You havn't given that much information but you might of not renamed craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar to craftbukkit.jar - as the run.bat is looking for craftbukkit.jar not craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

 

and watch out for windows "special" behaviour - hiding extensions, often it's not called "craftbukkit.jar" but "craftbukkit.jar.jar"

 

Somehow I knew it was something really simple like this.

Anyhow, thanks a whole lot! And I'll be wary of the vile tendencies of the windows file system.

Oh, nevermind. Still not working-same error message.

Then I tried out the 'Newb-Friendly!' way and still having trouble.

I just realized I'm a very impressive noob.

have you tried removing the ".jar" extension?

 

Tried that before but it failed to work...

But thing is, I got it working with the 'newb' method...had to extract the files from the compressed folder. It was probably the problem all the long.

Man, they should really make a 'special' guide for ultra noobs like me.

Thanks though!

 

Did you unfortuanley double clicked the .jar file?
It happened to me, and then I couldn't do it, because the file was open in Java, or something.

Try to reboot your pc, then re-do the process.
If it's not working, try to redownload.

 

Could you possibly post the contents of the bat...and maybe the path to craftbook.jar or at least where it is relative to the bat?

 

Could you right click on Run.bat and select open with Notepad (or your preferred batch file editor) and copy and paste the code here please? Also I got 2 questions that you'll need to answer

• Is the Run.bat file in the same folder as you're craftbukkit jar file?
• What is the exact name of your craftbukkit file? ex. craftbukkit-0.0.1.jar

 

*Notices old thread was being continued*

(To clarify things, I have gotten the server working but I'm just continuing if you guys are mostly curious/looking for bugs)

I was following the 'Setting up a server' method on the BukkitWiki and failing horribly...

To just make things a bit more easy, it offered the code as:

@ECHO OFF SET BINDIR=%~dp0 CD /D "%BINDIR%" "%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xincgc -Xmx1G -jar craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar PAUSE

I do recall the RUN.bat file was with the jar file, and its name was 'craftbukkit-0.0.1.jar (leaving out the windows extension tendency.)
As I've said, the batch file was having...difficulties finding the closely located jar.

 

Ah there's your problem. You need to rename "craftbukkit-0.0.1.jar" to "craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar"

 

The system can not find the specified path
This is my problem
Run file is working, the system is 64 Bit.
My craftbukkit file is named:
craftbukkit-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
I dont think its the right name, i edited it to this, but it was osme
thing about 1.0.1-R1 i think - so difficult§

 

What is the script you use to start up the server?
