and press any key to continue resulting in it closing

thats what im doing in the first with the location but it does nothing only showing D:\1.16.5 server>"D:\Program Files\Java8\bin\javaw.exe" java -Xmx4096M -Xms4096M -jar forgeserver.jar nogui D:\1.16.5 server>PAUSE

i only have java8 installed thats what im confused about even ran the freaking line to make it launch over java 8 and yet nothing happens im confused i have java8 and java8 64 bit version installed nothing else

also removing the "D:\Program Files\Java8\bin\javaw.exe" makes it crash with this error: D:\1.16.5 server>java -Xmx4096M -Xms4096M -jar forgeserver.jar nogui 2022-01-08 23:15:17,189 main WARN Advanced terminal features are not available in this environment [23:15:17] [main/INFO] [cp.mo.mo.Launcher/MODLAUNCHER]: ModLauncher running: args [--gameDir, ., --launchTarget, fmlserver, --fml.forgeVersion, 36.2.23, --fml.mcpVersion, 20210115.111550, --fml.mcVersion, 1.16.5, --fml.forgeGroup, net.minecraftforge, nogui] [23:15:17] [main/INFO] [cp.mo.mo.Launcher/MODLAUNCHER]: ModLauncher 8.0.9+86+master.3cf110c starting: java version 17.0.1 by Oracle Corporation Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalAccessError: class cpw.mods.modlauncher.SecureJarHandler (in unnamed module @0xadd0edd) cannot access class sun.security.util.ManifestEntryVerifier (in module java.base) because module java.base does not export sun.security.util to unnamed module @0xadd0edd at cpw.mods.modlauncher.SecureJarHandler.lambda$static$1(SecureJarHandler.java:41) at cpw.mods.modlauncher.api.LamdbaExceptionUtils.uncheck(LamdbaExceptionUtils.java:95) at cpw.mods.modlauncher.SecureJarHandler.<clinit>(SecureJarHandler.java:41) at cpw.mods.modlauncher.Launcher.lambda$new$6(Launcher.java:55) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ConcurrentHashMap.computeIfAbsent(ConcurrentHashMap.java:1708) at cpw.mods.modlauncher.api.TypesafeMap.computeIfAbsent(TypesafeMap.java:52) at cpw.mods.modlauncher.api.TypesafeMap.computeIfAbsent(TypesafeMap.java:47) at cpw.mods.modlauncher.Environment.computePropertyIfAbsent(Environment.java:62) at cpw.mods.modlauncher.Launcher.<init>(Launcher.java:55) at cpw.mods.modlauncher.Launcher.main(Launcher.java:66) at net.minecraftforge.server.ServerMain$Runner.runLauncher(ServerMain.java:63) at net.minecraftforge.server.ServerMain$Runner.access$100(ServerMain.java:60) at net.minecraftforge.server.ServerMain.main(ServerMain.java:57) D:\1.16.5 server>PAUSE
