Windows Machine running 1.18.2 Fabric Server critical error

[JsephGriff]

Hi! I have been having a non-stop issue with LazyMC controlling my 1.18.2 fabric server jar. The server refuses to start with this error, which only occurs upon using LazyMC. If I use any other script to start the server including running the Jar, the server will launch fine without error. My java 17 paths are all properly used, and even by typing the default script thru the lazymc.toml config, such as: command = "java -Xmx1G -Xms1G -jar fabric-server.jar --nogui"
the error still persists.

INFO lazymc > Rewritten server.properties file with updated values

So sorry, I did not see a previously closed issue with the same exact error. For future reference, manually setting the directory in the config saved everything. I nearly did a full on windows re-install because I thought my java path's were all busted, based on the error thrown from this bug. SHEESH.

Great to see you were able to fix it!

Sadly, I don't think there's an easy way to fix this automatically.
