I figured out how you might be able to do it. Use symlinks with network path and host name. In might now work with linux as well. \\hostname\smbshare I currently have it working on a network share like this. Edit: messed up a bit was tired last night

For some reason it works at least when running on a domain. I will setup a vm and a vlan to isolate and try and run from a network share. Will take me a couple days. But will get back with results. It might be down to running a windows domain as to why it runs.

If you normalize paths it will remove the extra two // im pretty sure.

source=file://fileserver is missing slashes URI uri =URI.create("file:////fileserver/redirects/../../../..") just fyi: I'm not an expert with java I'm just helping to try and figure it out. That log line looks like slashes have been removed with URI normalizing.

I'm installing forge to a mapped drive right now r:\.minecraft you just have to mount it in command prompt for the installer to see it.

When I have time, later today. I will try and pinpoint where it fails. I was resetting up with a mapped drive right to the .minecraft folder to see if its at least a way to bypass the issue. I know you guys put a lot into this with not much reward. I do appreciate that. I will help for sure. As to installing with a network folder on windows you need to launch the jar inside a terminal window with admin permissions. I had to do the same with optifine.

I'm not trying to be mean. But when minecraft itself works fine in this fashion and basically everything else does, other then spotify. There is a problem. Do you know what roaming profiles are? I have multiple computers I work on in the house. Like I said, I run a domain controller, permissions are handled by that, roaming profile server; is what holds all user files. Think of it like a perpetual internal cloud save. That why I can log onto any machine, I can run paid antivirus on a single machine. User files are on a tiered cached server. I had optifine running fine as well. To me what you are saying is; there is no plans on fixing this issue and you don't care about it. The easy fix, would be; when installing detect path of install and add the arguments required for a network install. I think under java that would require an extra \

I running a domain and roaming profiles at home. Minecraft runs fine by itself, but forge seems to have an issue running from a network location. minecraft is installed //fileserver/redirects$/username/appdata/roaming/.minecraft The error I keep getting --------------------------------- [13Sep2020 21:16:35.027] [main/INFO] [STDERR/]: [java.lang.ThreadGroup:uncaughtException:1052]: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URI has an authority component [13Sep2020 21:16:35.027] [main/INFO] [STDERR/]: [java.lang.ThreadGroup:uncaughtException:1052]: at java.io.File.<init>(File.java:423) [13Sep2020 21:16:35.028] [main/INFO] [STDERR/]: [java.lang.ThreadGroup:uncaughtException:1052]: at org.spongepowered.asm.launch.platform.container.ContainerHandleURI.<init>(ContainerHandleURI.java:57) [13Sep2020 21:16:35.028] [main/INFO] [STDERR/]: [java.lang.ThreadGroup:uncaughtException:1052]: at org.spongepowered.asm.launch.platform.container.ContainerHandleModLauncher$Resource.<init>(ContainerHandleModLauncher.java:45) [13Sep2020 21:16:35.028] [main/INFO] [STDERR/]: [java.lang.ThreadGroup:uncaughtException:1052]: at org.spongepowered.asm.launch.platform.container.ContainerHandleModLauncher.addResource(ContainerHandleModLauncher.java:76) [13Sep2020 21:16:35.028] [main/INFO] [STDERR/]: [java.lang.ThreadGroup:uncaughtException:1052]: at org.spongepowered.asm.launch.platform.container.ContainerHandleModLauncher.addResources(ContainerHandleModLauncher.java:86) [13Sep2020 21:16:35.028] [main/INFO] [STDERR/]: [java.lang.ThreadGroup:uncaughtException:1052]: at org.spongepowered.asm.launch.MixinLaunchPlugin.addResources(MixinLaunchPlugin.java:179) [13Sep2020 21:16:35.029] [main/INFO] [STDERR/]: [java.lang.ThreadGroup:uncaughtException:1052]: at cpw.mods.modlauncher.LaunchPluginHandler.lambda$offerScanResultsToPlugins$7(LaunchPluginHandler.java:78) [13Sep2020 21:16:35.029] [main/INFO] [STDERR/]: [java.lang.ThreadGroup:uncaughtException:1052]: at cpw.mods.modlauncher.LaunchPluginHandler$$Lambda$390/1657125852.accept(Unknown Source) [13Sep2020 21:16:35.029] [main/INFO] [STDERR/]: [java.lang.ThreadGroup:uncaughtException:1052]: at java.util.HashMap.forEach(HashMap.java:1280) [13Sep2020 21:16:35.029] [main/INFO] [STDERR/]: [java.lang.ThreadGroup:uncaughtException:1052]: at cpw.mods.modlauncher.LaunchPluginHandler.offerScanResultsToPlugins(LaunchPluginHandler.java:78) [13Sep2020 21:16:35.030] [main/INFO] [STDERR/]: [java.lang.ThreadGroup:uncaughtException:1052]: at cpw.mods.modlauncher.Launcher.run(Launcher.java:76) [13Sep2020 21:16:35.031] [main/INFO] [STDERR/]: [java.lang.ThreadGroup:uncaughtException:1052]: at cpw.mods.modlauncher.Launcher.main(Launcher.java:65) -------------------------------- java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URI has an authority component Is the main part from what I see, Forge seems to want admin permission to run something, but the way java works with profiles, When I use admin to launch the launcher, it points to the administrator account profile. Why does forge need administrator rights to run if this is what is being asked for?
