    Well, it's not an executable jar, just a regular one (jar = Java archive), but Windows doesn't know the difference. The error message you receive when running it is expected.

    So, where are you running validateInstall.bat from? c:\Rome TW, right? Then it should find eb.jar in that same directory. Possibly I've missed a problem when you have a space in the path... Could you try to rename the "Rome TW" folder to "RomeTW", then run the validation?

    Having problems getting EB2 to run? Try these solutions.

    Certainly.

    EDIT: It won't let me rename the file to "RomeTW". Access is denied.

    I tried to rename my own folder to contain spaces, and it works just fine with no changes... Could you verify that the contents of validateInstall.bat are:
    @echo off
    echo Running validation. Could take a couple of minutes, please be patient.
    java -cp eb.jar;edtftpj.jar europabarbarorum/ValidateInstall
    echo Validation is complete. There should now be a new file called
    echo "ebValidationResults.txt" in this directory. However, if you're running
    echo Vista and have installed RTW/EB under PROGRAM FILES, it probably won't.
    echo In fact, if so you're very likely to run into trouble later because of
    echo that placement. Make sure you have installed RTW/EB anywhere else.
    pause
    notepad ebValidationResults.txt
    Then try to change java -cp eb.jar into java -classpath eb.jar and run it again. Possibly you have a version of Java which doesn't recognize the -cp directive. Which version of Java do you have installed?

    I downloaded and installed version 6 yesterday from this site http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp.

    No, the contents of my validateinstall are the same as listed as above.

    If i run validateinstall.bat via the search function of my desktop, it comes up with something completely different:

    Running validation. Could take a couple of minutes, please be patient. The validation requires a checklist to confirm that your installation is correct. Upon installation, you get one for a standard RTW/EB installation without BI/Alex. I can try to download another or update the checklist from the EB server, do you want to do this? (Y/N)

    Then I'm sorry, I don't have any more help to give. The toggle_fow crash certainly doesn't happen on my machine, and Java behaves differently.

    That's ok bovi! It must be just one of those things that happens now and again. Either that or it's the faulr of my steam-powered laptop.

    Thanks again for all your help, much appreciated!

    @Bovi, haven't you added a manifest file in your .jar archive then? After doing that it's just a matter of

    Code:
    java -jar myArchive.jar
    In the .bat file.

    Also, turning the echo off supresses output in the DOS box at times; even if you explicitly write to the console. (At least it did with my DRViewer...?)
