if it got far enough to create a bat, I can't imagine why you'd see no words inside the bat when you opened it with a text editor.
If you mean double-clicking the bat brought up an empty black window that then disappeared, that was by design. Any errors would be saved to "emergency_log.txt".

Okay my 32bit tool definitely saw java.exe there, but the bat script didn't.roza4567 wrote:Code: Select all

By any chance, are you on 64bit Windows, with 32bit Java?
If so, installing 64bit Java as may help (it's okay to have both Javas).
Warning: Technobabble Follows...
Java's normally installed in "C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.2.3_45\bin\java.exe".
Scripts wouldn't know to look for it there, so a frontend/dummy/copy is also put in "C:\Windows\System32\java.exe" where scripts always check.
This would be fine except...
64 bit Windows has this irritating habit of putting 32bit apps in a sandbox to keep them from seeing 64bit stuff (lying about folders and the registry: System32 is really somewhere else). And 64bit apps aren't lied to, but they generally don't bother peeking into the sandbox (so they may not be aware of 32bit stuff).
Edit: I've updated the LauncherGen to partly account for the folder lies.
FTLHomeworld_LauncherGen_v2.2
It does some magic to bust out of the sandbox, likely seeing things from the bat's point of view (and not seeing things), as it searches for a viable java.exe.
The tool still needs more tweaking to run 32bit Java on 64bit Windows.
