Illegal folder name in Create: Interactive JAR file. #69

Open Tjmaxmillion opened 8 months ago

Windows has some reserved folder/file names, and when folders or files are named these things it can cause issues.

In this case Create: Interactive has a folder called aux located at org\valkyrienskies\create_interactive\aux in the jar. This specific issue popped up with the HeliosLauncher, The launcher unarchives mods JAR files and stores them in a folder called "modstore".

This makes a folder called aux in the folder for Create: Interactive preventing the deletion of the root directory of the launcher.

TL;DR

Don't use Illegal file/folder names listed below. Cause if the mod is unarchived on a windows machine for any reason it prevents the folder and any parent folder from being deleted by normal means.
