This program requires JRE

[rawrinc]

Every time I try to start the launcher, a message appears that says I need to download Java. Well, I already have Java downloaded, so I don't know why I can't play. I even followed the link/error I got and re-downloaded Java again... But I still can't even get to the launcher. I have JRE7 installed as clear as day on my program lists, any ideas on how I can actually play this game?

What OS?

What file are you using?

How are you launching it

What folder is the file you are launching in?

 

[rawrinc]

Windows 7

Tried using the regular and alternative Windows launcher.

(Trying) to launch from my downloads folder

Just launching it by trying to run the .exe found in the StarMade download section.

PS: I also tried downloading the newest version manually but there is no launcher that comes with it, so I tried making a .bat file to run the .jar but an exception was thrown.

Use the starmade-starter.exe

It should work direct from your downloads folder, but it needs to be able to create a \"StarMade\" folder which it then downloads the actual program files.

What version of Java do you have installed?

Yeah the problem is, is that it won\'t even download the files, just keeps telling me to download Java. And I have JRE7, I even downloaded the one they keep telling me to download, no luck.

Edit: I just uninstalled JRE7 and its working now.... my mind is blown.

You probably also had Java 6 installed on your computer.

While Java 6 is good for some things, Java 7 is better for more, because it is far more recent.
