ServerStart.bat can't access settings.bat

[Cow-Cat-7]

Bug Description

I installed curseforge and then installed the modpack and server pack. I unzipped the server pack and tried to run ServerStart.bat and it immediately closed itself. I then ran ServerStart.bat through command prompt to see what went wrong and it gave the error:
'settings.bat' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Starting Sky Factory 4 Server...
Error: Unable to access jarfile nogui"

Did this behavior use to work in the previous version?

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. run ServerStart.bat

When running the script through command prompt you need to ensure your working directory is the extracted server folder or you will receive the quoted error.

That means running the server like:

cd "C:\Users\user\servers\SkyFactory 4"
.\ServerStart.bat

Instead of:

"C:\Users\user\servers\SkyFactory 4\ServerStart.bat"

Ah thank you. I now get a different error
Error: missing `server' JVM at `C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre1.8.0_421\bin\server\jvm.dll'.
Please install or use the JRE or JDK that contains these missing components.

Do I create this manually or is there a very specific version of java I have to install?

Two issues here. First is the missing server JVM, which oracle removed from the standard JRE download a while ago. Just remove -server from the start script. Second is that you've got a 32-bit version of Java 8 installed, which won't be able to address enough memory to run the server (32-bit processes are limited to 3GB). You need to uninstall this version and install the 64-bit version. On oracle's Java download website this is labelled "Windows Offline (64-bit)"

Thank you so much! The server looks like it starts now. Have a nice day!
