"[MLG-ERROR] Error in program arguments." when using MLG for anything other than generating worlds

[Enkouyami]

During the setup I read that there was an error in program arguments and at the end, minecraft server wasn't launched.

Here's the output from MLG_Initial_Setup_Windows.cmd:

"[MLG-ERROR] Error in program arguments." can be safely ignored during initial setup - you should not see it when running normally.

As for "The system cannot find the file specified.", the setup script is looking to delete the temporary world just created. But you pressed [CTL] + [C], which killed MLG, and it asked if you wanted to "Terminate batch job (Y/N)? n" which you said no to. the next line in the script is deleting the world.

SO... all is working fine.

[Morlok8k]

For clarification, "[MLG-ERROR] Error in program arguments." is a catch-all statement for when the program cannot run "normally" (i.e. generating worlds). This includes normal arguments where worlds would not be generated like when MLG is doing something else like downloading a file, etc.
