" ' java ' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable, or batch file.

When I open run.BAT in cmd it give me this message, but when I press a key it just closes, please help!

Someone please help, I realize I probably should have given a bit more information so here.

Im using windows 7, 64-bit operating system, and if any other information is needed I can post that as well.

Its because java din't register itself to windows to be ran when you use java in cmd. You could go threw and set this yourself, or you could tell the .bat to use the Java.exe

If you have 64bit Java7 installed:

Code:

"C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" <the -jar and stuff goes here>

If you have 32bit Java7 installed:

Code:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe <the -jar and stuff goes here>

If you have 64bit Java6 installed:

Code:

"C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" <the -jar and stuff goes here>

If you have 32bit Java6 installed:

Code:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe <the -jar and stuff goes here>

 

Ok, I'm really sorry but I'm kind of new to this stuff, so I put the code you gave me in cmd? Once again I'm really sorry about this.

Thanks for the help, I figured it out but I wouldn't have without you, thanks a lot!

Use one of the command lines Gamecube listed. I suggest you install 64-bit Java if you haven't already.

If you still have trouble, post the contents of your .bat file.

 

or to save you an immense amount of trouble, use the advanced run.bat i made: http://pastebin.com/WLn79jGX.
it works out what edition you have (32 or 64 bit java 7) if you have java 6, you need to update it.

if you need help setting it up, i can explain it for you.

 

Or just add java to your path instead.
