Installer not opening, only giving me option to open with notes, or other apps
I tried to download the installer and when i double click it just opens in notes with a bunch of keyboard smashing... I've never used iris or optifine before but both do this and I got no idea what to do

do you have java installed?
Yeah
@Nime
What is Jarfix and how does it help?
Jarfix is a tool that can be used to fix issues where .jar files don't launch, due to their associations being hijacked, on double-click. You can download it from https://johann.loefflmann.net/downloads/jarfix.exe

I’ll try that in a little thank you :froggers:
Try "Open with" the latest Java program you have or try launching the installer though the command line. Command: java -jar "C:\Link\to\installer.jar" (Windows) or java -jar ",,,/link/to/installer.jar" (Linux)
I'm not sure if my example command will work with Windows, but could try it in either command prompt or power shell. You may have to allow the jar file to run, if applicable.
You may have to find the java program executable file and run it with the command line.
this wont open, gives me an error
hmmm im not very good at this stuff but i can try
nvm i got this to work but says i have to run mincract at least one in the official launcer and i have? I dont know why it says this
im on 1.20.4 of mc and the error is saying i need to rujn 1.20.1 at least once in the launcher
so I ran 1.20.1, that let me download iris but then i get stuck on the "completed!" screen (nothings been downloaded) i get an error saying make sure mc is closed, and it is so im still lost
What are you trying to open?
for that error, its when i try to open iris-mc1.20.4-1.6.13 file
You’re not meant to open that
only the installer
oh, well the launcher doesnt get me far either
it tells you you need to close MC?
it opens and says completed but nothing was downloaded
yes
but its closed
have you tried the holy method of restarting your computer
