Making the client work for Windows 7 and other 64bit OS

[Empathy]

The following guide should fix issues such as the client crashing after taking two steps after logging in, which is the problem which makes a vast majority of servers crash for 64 bit operating systems. This will be required for 64 bit Vista and Windows 7, I've used both and they both work with this guide.

Firstly, go wherever you saved the new client, by default it should be in:
Computer -> OS (C:) -> Program Files (x86) -> Sweet Client!

Then find the windows batch file called 'Run Client'. Right click on this, then click "Edit"
This should bring up a text file containing what that file is ordered to do.
For most clients, it should look a little like:

Code:


@ECHO OFF
title Sweet!
echo Welcome to Project Sweet!
Start Java -Xmx500m -cp .;Theme.jar Gui
pause

Now, you have to highlight all of that and delete it.
Then replace it with the following, which should redirect the opening of Java to the place it is saved in 64 bit OS:

Code:

@ECHO OFF
title Sweet!
echo Welcome to Project Sweet!
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe" -Xmx500m -cp .;Theme.jar Gui
pause

Hopefully that should make clients work for anyone who had this issue.

I found out how to do all this from the moparscape thread http://www.moparscape.org/smf/index.php/topic,409149.0.html , and all credit of this guide goes to the author of that thread. I have simply reworded and adapted his guide to suite those of this server.
