Forge server file raises an error

[tokechu]

I was trying to install Forge server 1.16.5. After installation from Forge installer I ran Forge jar file to create needed folders, files etc. However, in the console I got the following output:

Exception in thread "main" [19:54:55] [main/INFO] [STDERR/]: [java.lang.ThreadGroup:uncaughtException:1048]: java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "java.nio.file.Path.getFileSystem()" because "path" is null

I have created a bat file to run it:

@echo off
c:
"Program Files\Java\jdk-15.0.2\bin\java.exe" -Xms1024M -Xmx6192M -XX:+UseG1GC -jar "E:\Games\Minecraft Servers\1.16.5+mods\forgeserver.jar"
pause

That is all that was inside the file

[tokechu]

Yeah, it worked

This might be a long shot , but do you remember how you fixed that?
