Minecraft Server wont install

[hakusstronk]

I am not able to get Minecraft Server to install on my Win 2008 R2 Server. I cant get past the installer. It auto closes on run every single time.

From my internet searches I have tried
-Remove Java
-Reinstall Java
-Inststall Java SDK
-Install Java 32/64 bit
-Server Restarts

I have tried to install the game from the .jar file and 'opening with' Java SE. I have tried every variation of running both the Java. I have tried to correct the path file in system>advanced variables> changing the systems paths. I have tried the changing the CLASS, and PATH attributes. Nothing seems to work. I have also made sure to run revo uninstallers, and reg cleaners between installs. I have used JavaRA 2.6 to also try to manage the versions of Java. I have also performed full server restarts in an attempt to fix this issues. Nothing works...

Thank you to anyone that is able to help, I really appreciate it.

I had to change my operating system to Linux for minecraft on my virtual server from nfo, I don't think it will work on the windows server from nfo,

There should be no issues installing Minecraft on an unmanaged Windows VDS. We don't restrict it at all. Are you using the standard installer from the Minecraft website? Also what happens if you run it as admin?

If using an installer, sometimes your required to install some version of .NET to get them to run. Had this issue many times with other installer and applications that just appear to do nothing.

You could also install MyMcAdmin as we did, and let it install everything and manage your server.

I'm Running Windows Server R12 and Minecraft installed perfectly. I host two servers simultaneously. If you still don't have it working, consider changing the version of windows. Aside from Java, I did not have to install anything to have it working within minutes, and that included moving the world from its old home.
