I've tried multiple launchers from the Java, and I believe one of them was the SE Binary but it didn't work.
However, I'm going to try again with this directory you gave me. Will post when I have an update.

Okay, so I tried to run the downloaded file with both of the Java directories you suggested and rather than giving me a notification that the launch failed, it instead just closes a black window instantly. Not sure, but it's not working.

Sorry. The original problem certainly was that the Jar file was being opened with Java Web Start rather than the Java runtime binary (not sure why that would happen, since the Java installer normally binds thew file-type associations correctly when installed). As for the later problem, I can only recommend following the instructions MagicManICT posted here to try and debug the problem further.

Nor with the windows command.

Please check the instructions again. You need to run "java -jar autohaven-nikkalos.jar" (without the quotes), and you need to be in the same directory as where you put the Jar file.
