I have Java 17 installed and whenever I launched it my mouse does the loading thing for a few seconds and it never launches after.

None I've already went thru a lot of steps with Fronobulax. I don't get anything no sub folders or anything and i'm launching the latest Jar.

Some people having problems like this have found that they had an older JRE (like 1.8) on their system and JDK 17 and JRE 1.8 caused failures.

Others have used the experimental bundled version from GitHub, which incudes a packaged JRE. It's 3x the size of the JAR version, but it can be a useful way of running the program if you're running into issues like you're describing.

Thanks. Replying to this was supposed to do the first thing I did today. Guess what didn't happen?

I did have a dream in which the problem was that the Windows association between a jar file and the "correct" version of Java had not been made but if there is a solution then I'm good.
