2. Fill the bot token and owner id

Expected behavior
idk how this works so idek

Screenshots

Debug Info
I'm on Windows 10 Pro, JMusicbot version 0.3.5

Additional context
double-clicking the jar file just opens the compressed files, so that's a no

Could you tell us how you exactly start the MusicBot? Preferably in a video.

[MichailiK]

It's caused by Windows Explorer setting the current directory to system32 when using right click -> open with. It should have been fixed a while ago. I will eventually look into this & come up with a fix.

[Nazunawa]

Thank you. 2 Things:

1. You leaked your bot's token in the recording. Reset it in Discord's developer portal.
2. As a workaround, do right click -> Open with -> Choose another app, select java and make sure you tick the bottom checkbox, in order to always run jar files with java.

ok yeah i changed the token

[Nazunawa]

this one right

[MichailiK]

Yes, be sure to tick the checkbox at the bottom as well.

[Nazunawa]

okay thanks for everything
and @DJoepie 🙏

It's trying to write the config file in system32.
That directory is only writeable by an admin.

Are you running the music bot with admin priveledges or something? It shouldn't create the config file in system32.
You could also manually make the config file by placing a config.txt file in the same direcotry as the JMusicBot.
For more information check out the example config file.

For further questions you might want to check out the support server

[Nazunawa]

like this?

[Nazunawa]

and no im not running it with admin privileges

[DJoepie]

Then you might want to do what Michailik said and upload a video on how you're starting the music bot because it shouldn't do that.
The fastest way to run that music bot is to do the following:
Shift + Right click in that folder and then Open PowerShell window here

then run it with the following command:
java -Dnogui=true -jar JMusicBot-0.3.5.jar

if that doesn't work, you might want to check if you have Java installed.

[Nazunawa]

should i record using the method i tried or the new method

[DJoepie]

if the new method doesn't work for you, record the old method.

You might want to record the old method anyways. I don't know if it's useful info for the maintainers to know how you got this bug.

Hey, I had the same issue and solved it by uninstalling java se runtime environment, and installing java 8.

[Nazunawa]

well, I needed Java runtime se(I think) for my Minecraft launcher, and I assumed it was enough
