    Bukkit Installer

    Another installer, yet again.
    But this one is different, and this is why:
    • Download Recommended, Beta or development build.
    • Create a .bat file. The best found Java installation is automatic selected.
    • Warnings when the user tries to enter a value, that might cause troubles.
    • Based upon experience with e.g. BukkitGUI and other tools.

    Download: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20426400/BukkitInstaller.exe

    You read it right. It creates a .bat file, dynamicly, based upon a few parameters (in most cases they are detected right away)

    I love feedback. Please post it in this thread.

    Metro4151 It just works for me. In which step did you get that message?

    I got it right after clicking 'Allow' in UAC. I didn't even get to UAC before I set XP compatibility in properties. Also, you think I can get the source code when this starts working??

    Hmm, I really can't reproduce it. Make sure internet access is granted, and try to run as administrator. I'm testing on windows 7 x64 as administrator.
    Try downloading it again.

    I've followed all their councils and chancing still does not work because the installer needs to run the source program.

    Metro4151 creeperded updated the download with a possible bugfix. Though, since I wasn't able to recreate the error, someone else has to check if it's fixed.

    Bug cause was a .NET extension that wasn't included, fixed it :)
    This is actually built with about the same engine. It's just a bit more noob-friendly, and updated.

    It should show the window...
    You start by clicking the .bat file, and not the .jar file, right?

    i start with the jar file because when i start with batch file i get "Error Unable to Access jarfile Craftbukkit.jar
    Press any key to continue..." and then nothing happens

    did you rename something? If you use the installer, the bat file should work.
    I'll check the code.

    i renamed the jar file as was said to do for a solution and i changed the batch code i believe beacause bukkitwiki said to on setting up a server

    my batch file says
    Echo OFF
    SET BINDIR=%~dp0
    CD /D "%BINDIR%"
    java -Xmx1024M -Xms1024M -jar craftbukkit.jar
    PAUSE

    If you use the installer, the batch file will have the correct java and craftbukkit path.
    I uploaded v1.2, with explicit browse buttons to select the files. Normally, the installer should detect the files automatic.
    If I try it, the launch file generator detects everything, and I just have to click "Generate"...

    note: I recommend putting the new server in an empty folder. This way you can easily see what files belong to the server, and you don't have a change to get a conflict about file overwriting and that kind of stuff

    I'm glad it works :)
    That's what this installer is about ;)
    While other installers will drop some .bat files in your server directory, this installer creates them. This means the files should work always!
    (unless you move or rename files, in that case you can just run the installer again)
    To uninstall, just remove the files.
