JAR Files won't open/Jarfix didn't help #24

Closed squirminherman closed 5 years ago

squirminherman commented 5 years ago

So, I have tried every solution that I could find to remedy this but JAR files still will not open for me on Windows 10. Not sure what else I can do. Pretty frustrated as I am not a programmer and have no idea why it isn't working. I ran Jarfix which seemed to work. It told me that .jar files were registered successfully but it doesn't seem to have done anything.

Here is what I am seeing when I run it through command prompt:

Heyo! Strange stuff!

First of all, are you using the native binary (ModLoaderInstaller-Windows-x64.zip) or just the multi-platform JAR file (ModLoaderInstaller.jar)?

Also, could you run java -version in a command prompt for me, and send me the version string it prints?

squirminherman commented 5 years ago

I downloaded and attempted using both. Here is the java version: C:\Users\Sam!>java -version java version "1.8.0_221" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_221-b11) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 25.221-b11, mixed mode, sharing)

I'm almost certain that the cause is that exclamation mark in your windows username. Seems like Java doesn't like that for some reason. (Related Java bug database entry)

It might help if you move the ModLoaderInstaller into a directory whose path doesn't contain any exclamation marks, and try to run it from there.

squirminherman commented 5 years ago

Apparently it's a known bug that the user name doesn't change for your files/folders even when you change it in settings... So, I'm stuck with that little annoyance. But, your suggestion worked and the installer opened! Thanks! However, now I can't locate where TLD is on C: because it's not the Steam version. No idea where it installed. FML

zeobviouslyfakeacc commented 5 years ago

because it's not the Steam version

What version is it, then? If it's the Microsoft Store / XBox Crossplay version, you're out of luck - that's an UWP application, which we unfortunately can't mod. If it's the GOG or an ""unofficial"" version, you'll just have to figure out where tld.exe is by checking the path your shortcuts link to, or find the path of the running application in your task manager.

squirminherman commented 5 years ago

Drat. That would be the issue. Guess I will need to head over to a certain swarthy site and grab the GOG version. Thanks again for taking the time and helping me figure this out! Really appreciate it and I will let you know if I get it working.

zeobviouslyfakeacc commented 5 years ago

I think they stopped selling the game on GOG, unfortunately :/

Steam is probably the only reasonable option for now.

squirminherman commented 5 years ago

Full unofficial version it is then! I didn't want to buy the game again anyway haha.
