Ah, okay. Tried it, and it doesn't even get far enough to generate the EULA. Still seems to be treating the local drive as if it were a network drive. What the balls edit: Ran Windows Update, installed the most recent update, rebooted the computer, and now everything's working. What the HELL that had to do with ANYTHING I don't know... but it's working now. Thanks for being so helpful though!

Fair enough. And I get where you're coming from- I just don't know why it's doing that. My setup: I have three computers. Two clients, one server. I'm always careful to run the game or server from the physical box it's installed on. All three boxes are running windows 7. I had everything set up running 1199, but some new stuff came out from teamCOFH, and I wanted to upgrade. The clients were straightforward- ran the installer, replaced the mods, and they start and run just fine. They can do single player without crashes. The server just won't start any more. I've tried wiping the folder and reinstalling on it using the installer, running the server, correcting the EULA, and then running the forge jar, as I said above, but it's still just giving me the same error. Is there really nowhere I can go in the files to somehow correct the path to D:\ instead of \\BMD_SERVER\ ? Right now I'm going through the motions of wiping and reinstalling with 1199 just to see if there's something else going on. Thanks for checking my logs, by the way. I appreciate it. I really wonder if I'm missing a step somewhere in the install- it is just 'run installer, run vanilla, correct EULA, run vanilla, run forge' right?

I'm running it from the physical computer that is the server, like I've always done. Except now it's not working. Seriously, it sits next to my desk- I reach over, grab the mouse, click the .jar file, and it craps out. I'm not running it from the client computer.

The server is a different computer than the one I play the client on, but no- I always start the installer and everything else from the computer that is supposed to be the server. I'm not sure why it looks like a network path in the URI error, there, nor how I could fix it. Is there a configuration somewhere that I can access?

So this is weird- I was able to get my client updated to 1208, and it runs just fine. But trying to get the server working isn't happening- it won't start any more- or rather, it's crashing while starting. I'd link to a crash log somewhere else, but, it's not very long (35ish lines) since it didn't even start.

I tried wiping the directory, using the installer, starting the vanilla server, closing the vanilla server, fixing the EULA, and then rerunning the FML server, but that's all the log I get from it. So there's no mods or anything in it so far. It's weird, because up 'til this morning, I had 1199 working just fine, with mods and everything. I was just trying to update Forge so I could use the new updates from teamCOFH.
