Hey all, I'm very new to this so i'll try to explain my best. Yesterday I got the urge to create an L2J server. I've installed Java SDK latest, Eclipse, MySQL, Navicat, and HeidiSQL. I think I only needed Navicat OR HeidiSQL but I've seen so many tutorials now I've installed some unnecessary things along the way.
So at first I was trying to use Eclipse to compile a server but since scratched that idea - seems to complicated at the moment.
I went on to download
http://www.l2jserver.com/nightly/index. ... tapack.zip
and
http://www.l2jserver.com/nightly/index. ... server.zip

I've unzipped them in the same folder, opened MySQL and made my root/password, opened Navicat and made a localhost connection with a l2jdb database. Then I open database_installer.bat and direct it to MySQL bin folder, put in my root / password. At this point it does something so fast I can't really see but all I can make out is Can't locate something? over and over, then says thanks for using our software. But when I open Navicat there is nothing under tables, and same with MySQL - nothing under tables..
I've went through the login and gameserver server config files and put in my login name and password etc.
Not really sure where to go next with this? Did I not download all the files that are required or?

Ok i just discovered something i was doing wrong, apparently. I was running the database_installer.bat file as an administrator. Now that I'm not running as an admin it's installing "some" files, with a bunch coming up as "Something caused an error while executing instruction E:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin\mysql.exe -h localhost -u -root -password=******* -D l2jdb
with file char_templates.sql
and clan_war.sql
and droplist.sql
etc etc..

Have you tried to put the MySql bin path into double quotes? "E:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Server 5.6\bin"?

Also when you are on windows, you can double click the jar files dbinst_cs/gs/ls.jar files to startup gui database installers.
