2 months ago First of all open a command prompt window and run java -version.
If it shows something like this:
then the java version you have installed is (in the scenario in the picture)
java version "21.0.2" 2024-01-16 LTS
If it shows you 'java' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. it means you don't have java installed.
Since you're running 1.18.2 and it doesn't start it's likely you have an older version of java rather than the required one which is Java 17 and/or newer.
In the command java -jar arclight.jar replace java with the path java 17 (newer is installed).
Here is an example demonstrated with java 8:
"C:\Program Files\Java\jre-1.8\bin\java.exe" -jar arclight.jar nogui pause
The nogui disables the server control panel andthe pause argument makes it when the server stops for the app to close you have to press any key. (That's my addition btw)
Don't forget the path needs to end with \bin\java.exe
P.S. I'm no tech genius but I'm interested in tech generally and the above solution was found by some server in Discord which I don't remember. I hope that fixes your problem.
