System cannot find path specified?

[Ligerzero564]

Im having a problem with starting to mod with forge, i downloaded the MCP 725 as well as the most recent vertion of forge src, i extracted the MCP.zip into a folder on my desktop called MCP and extracted the forge folder into that folder as well, when i ran the install.bat file i get a command prompt window that says "the system cannot find the path specified" i have confirmed that JDK is installed and up-to-date but when i tried to change the path to point to the JDK bin folder i keep getting my command prompt reporting the old path info. what am i missing here? if it helps i am using windows 7.

Just download Forge for 1,4,6 and run the install.bat it has MCP into no need to download it.

ok so when i try unning the install.cmd file from the forge folder i get "the system cannot find the path specified", however if i go into command prompt and change the directory to C:\Users\Joseph\Desktop\forge then run the install.cmd from that directory i get it to start but get this:

Downloaded mcp7.25.zip

Extracting MCP to C:\Users\Joseph\Desktop\forge\mcp

Setting up MCP

Backing up commands.py

patch:**** Can't create file C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32

\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_10\bin;C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin/poa03140 : Invalid argument

Could not verify commands.py patch integrity, this typicaly means that you are not in a clean MCP environment.

Download a clean version of MCP 7.23 and try again

cannot import name commands_sanity_check

press any key to continue...

 

now i am well and truly lost, why is it trying to recreate my path variable files?

[Chibill]

Did you download the java JRE that it said to in the tutorial on the wiki?

[Ligerzero564]

yes i have both 6 and 7

make a new mcp folder and put in the mcp, then put in your jars(minecraft, mc server, bin, resources) then run decompile then run install.bat inside the forge that you put in

[Ligerzero564]

so far the decompiler is running I will update here if there are any problems, though it is odd i have to go through the command prompt and cant use the files directly.

 

edit: there are several errors and warnings its saying "initial server recompile failed, correct source then run updatemd5" what exactly dose this mean?

Did you change the PATH variable? Because what you wrote doesn't sound like it if you don't know how to:

 

 

http://java.com/en/download/help/path.xml

 

 

just add the paths to bin folders (example: "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_38\bin") in the PATH Variable and try again

[Ligerzero564]

yes i changed the PATH for both the user and system variables and when i enter "path" into comand prompt it prints correctly, here is proof:

 

C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_10\bin;C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin.

 

also none of the bat files in the MCP folder work either they all return the same message.

[FreshDumb]

Hm... maybe you should try running it as Admin if you haven't tried already

[Ligerzero564]

that did it, i still had to run the decompile from command prompt but i had no errors or warnings thrown up. Thank you all so much for your help!
