Exception running application Stickmen
C:\Windows\system32>
C:\Windows\system32>I used some workaround but that would cause just more errors.
Whats your way to handle it?

Not a solution but, ehy are you storing your audio in System32? That seems like a really odd place to be doing things, plus for file IO it requires higher privileges. Why not store the audio relative to your application?

You might want to store your files on a more solid place. You could create a folder in the user.home directory and create a path to that.
If you use
Code
System.getProperty("user.home") + "\" + folderName + "\menuSound.mp3"* - Account of the Gods - Aug 15, 2017

nonono. It stores it there automatically. I have mp3 file in "default package" and instead of path I have "file.mp3" - it works from IDE but when i run it from .JAR then it reads system32/file.mp3 or system32/game.jar!/file.mp3 (notice the weird "!")

If you use
you will have a much more dynamic path.CodeSystem.getProperty("user.home") + "\" + folderName + "\menuSound.mp3"
Is there a way to run it from the JAR im providing to the user? instead of messing with his local files. im not creating a hack.

Do you mean it's checking that location, or it actually does put things in there? Either way that's exceptionally odd unless you're specifically telling your program to use "system32" as your "user.home" (basically, the execution directory). Would you mind posting some code? It could just be a case of mis-handling paths.

Use Class.getResourceAsStream.
PHP Code
<?php
InputStream in = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/file.mp3");
// handle stream input and send to whatever audio library you're using

You might not have permission to your system32 directory from eclipse?

Im not saying this is a hack or something. You can copy your files to a folder you create in the user.home directory. From there you can run it, or just use the resources out of your jar file.
