What is your language and what is your username?
Have you tried a nighlty build under the actions tab?

I am asking because it seems like java has a problem parsing the path where the .jar file is copied.

There's the problem. The path is invalid... But becuaee you are the only one at this point that reports this. I conclude this is such a small percentage of users that have such a configuration that it's not worth fixing. But after my vacation I will implement a command line argument that will store everything in ram (Ram only mode)

okay thanks. though a idea. maybe on one of the screens for installing you allow the user to give the program a spot to install it on? i feel this could fix the problem. you dont have to. thanks overall though for the help!

oh and a quick note. ive tried 2.02 as well. but it doesnt seem to make any icons. it just makes the program things but doesnt run it or so. no real way for me to run it again. and it doesnt say any errors. nor debuging data.
