Error: Unable to access jarfile minecraft_server.1.15.2

[Radeus]

Hi!
I know there are a lot of answers all around the web but somehow none of them has helped me yet.
As i run my start.bat as an administrator I run across an error: "Unable to access jarfile minecraft_server.1.15.2.jar"
The file name is correct, I also have 64-bit java installed. Did some troubleshooting I found online but nothing has helped.

Any ideas?

The exact start.bat content:
java -Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -jar minecraft_server.1.15.2.jar
pause

The file in the right place?

Try replacing the file name with the address of the file name

ex: C:\%username%\Desktop\ServerFolder\(jar file) 

 

also have you checked if the file is even existant? Will the file open upon clicking it?

Yep, both are in the same folder.

Does the jar file open upon clicking on it? Have you tried reinstalling the Minecraft Server client?

Wow once I clicked on it the jar actually doesn't react.

Try reinstalling it, that should fix the problem. If you need to transfer the world over and it's contents just grab the world and world_end/world_nether folders ( those two last folders only matter if your using a third party server client and not one from the actual site like spigot, bukkit or forge ) then transfer it over to the new server installation

Use a program called jarfix to fix any problems with .jar files

Is the EULA set to true? That might be a cause for the reason it isn't working either

I'm not 100% sure whether my way of thinking is correct, but I haven't really managed to install it. I've just downloaded it, tried to run it with the .bat file mentioned earlier and that's where I got stuck. I've repeated the whole process and got stuck with same problem.
Also, no idea if that will help, here is a quite long error log that pops up once I try to run start.bat via regular account:

No additional files, including EULA, where generated by the .jar file. Its just start.bat and minecraft_server.1.15.2.jar

Ok so that isn't right at all, but as I suspected, the server is running because there is no EULA file being accepted. 

You should be clicking the minecraft_server.1.15.2.jar file until new folders and files appear. It should look like this when it's done, this is my server ( might look a little different since it's a forge server, just disregard the mods folder and the .jar file for forge otherwise all the files there should appear there )

The thing is that I can't accept EULA with it not being generated in the first place. Even though I keep clicking on the .jar file it doesn't create any files. At the beginning of the error log there are some lines suggesting that it can't access the directory for some reason.

Ok i have an idea, what if I send you the server files? That's honestly really weird

I have a doubt in my mind this may not work but you can give it a shot.

If it doesn't automatically generate a world upon starting it up you may want to generate one yourself by creating a new world in single player ( up to your specifications, you could also just download a world ) then just transfer it to the folder and it's a simple as that. Also my server ip is on there so you'll have to change that. I forgot to remove that. You might also want to change the port since it's a bit different since I run multiple servers on the same pc but you don't necessarily have to change that it's just that if you want to access your server you'll have to do "(server-ip):(modified port)" ( in this case the port is 25566 ) as oppose to just your server ip to log on a server. But from that point on it's your server.

Well, once run by administrator its the same story as before

Once run via regular user though, the server's user interface actually pops up for around 1 sec, but then shuts down. The log: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12ND8wjz_ATPA-A9a9RvKWgVIVKCYrEGyFitUfZnLqxQ/edit?usp=sharing
I honestly have no idea what's causing it.

Change the port and IP. It's using mine. Change it to 25565 for the port and your IP.

For next time.. The eula is just a test file that you can create manually by making a text document called "eula.txt" and write "eula=true" inside it..
