Relative JRE paths don’t work
Operating System
Windows
Description of bug
If you use a relative path for the JRE location, Minecraft does not launch.
Steps to reproduce
- Place the jre folder from wherever you get your JRE in the same folder that MMC is in.
- Set the Java path in MMC to
../jre/bin/javaw.exe. - Try to launch the game.
Suspected cause
MultiMC doesn’t resolve relative paths before attempting to launch the game with them.
Possible solution: resolve relative paths before attempting to run the game. Ideally resolve them relative to the MultiMC executable.

This seems like it'd be hard to get right, especially if there were symlinks involved. IMO this is a feature request, not a bug.

It could be. I believe that, at least on Linux, there's a command to resolve paths.

I thought it fit as a BR, because I was expecting it to work and it didn't. I wouldn't mind it being re-tagged as an FR.
this works already on Windows, are you sure it doesn't on Linux?
can you provide your launcher log file, MultiMC-0.log in the launcher folder
It definitely doesn't work on Windows. Let me get you a log. I don't have a Windows machine though, I'm making this for a friend who does, so it might be a sec. I'll test it on Linux too though.

This is how https://github.com/MultiMC/Launcher/wiki/Unsupported-Intel-GPUs is done.

Incorrect.
I know for a fact it does. I was visiting family during new years and did https://github.com/MultiMC/Launcher/wiki/Unsupported-Intel-GPUs for my neice toaster laptop and it definitely worked.
And on linux;

Maybe it's the ../ I used?
Try to write down the path by yourself @ryleu
fixed now, not sure how or why. i didn't change the path, but the error is gone.
