haarcascade_frontalface_def.xml Not found

[ThisIsGettingWeird]

Hey guys, apologies in advance, I'm a complete novice to this coding thing (although this has piqued my interest). I'm having some trouble running the code on windows 10.
Initially I had to define JAVA_HOME as a system wide variable so that the batch file could locate the JDK. Then I had an error of "the input line is too long" in CMD. This was related to the set set "APP_CLASSPATH" command specifying many files and so being too long. So I replaced it with this: set "APP_CLASSPATH=%APP_LIB_DIR%*"

So now things appear to be working, I can get onto the hosted server and things seem to function ok. But the average faces haven't been computed and the bot hasn't made any actions (despite many manual swipes).

I think it's related to the below output...

Thanks heaps in advance to anyone who might help

I've had the exact same experience. To get Windows running the .bat file properly, it seemed that all that is required was changing the APP_CLASSPATH line to java -cp "%APP_LIB_DIR%/*" play.core.server.NettyServer (this seems to get around the long line error described above while still loading all the libraries). However, the XML file for Haar Cascades (pretty integral to the computer vision detection) won't load. Pls halp.
