Okay...So, this is really weird. I have been hosting a Bukkit server for me and my friend for awhile. However, I decided I was going to try my hand at making a Mo' Creatures server. Long story short; I downloaded the Minecraft_Server.jar and BEFORE EVEN MODDING IT I decided I would open it to make sure it is working properly. THIS WAS A VANILLA MINECRAFT.JAR. I have also downloaded it multiple times...
Anyway, I open it and this is what happens (It is an unmodded Jar):
Did you try running this new minecraft_server.jar in a brand new folder? If you ran this in your old folder, it's likely that it is getting confused with your Bukkit installation. Create a new folder, and start up the vanilla server, and go ahead and post us the error log: (if you have one)

This is in a completely new folder; completely seperate from the Bukkit folder.\
After some googling it seems it is a problem with my Java path file. Which I had to set manually. I'll see if I did it wrong.
Okay. I downloaded 'Jarfix' which was supposed to fix all path errors; however, it still doesn't seem to be working. My path file is correct; as I did check it. Could it possibly be a problem with Java 7?
The option isn't available to me; because it isn't an executable (Although it is an executable .jar). I however, am using an administrative account; and have all priviliges...at least to my knowledge.
I'm going to boot into my Windows XP partition that I always keep as a back up on my computer. I will see if I can possibly run it there; so I know wether the .jar from Minecraft.com is corrupted or if my computer is screwed up (Although I think it is more likely my computer is screwed up.)
I'm not sure how well it will run in XP, but it is worth a shot. It seems like it's having trouble making files since something is blocking it
Yeah. I am on Windows XP now; downloaded the Server.jar and it is running great...generated with no problem. Perhaps I can put the now generated files on a flash drive and carry them over to my Windows 7 partition...

you might be able to, however im not holding my breath.
If it doesnt work, try installing the server somewhere else, like on your flash drive then copying the files over.
Okay. Well, I entered my Windows XP partition on my Windows 7. Found the server files. And attempted to launch it. It still has the issue; even though all the files are generated. Based on what I have seen on the little bit of Google results that came up with the same issue; it seems to be on Java's end...for some reason it is installed incorrectly and can't launch Jars. I suppose I should try to re-install it (Although I have absolutely no problem running the craftbukkit.jar)?
Note: replace "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin\java" with the path your java executable is located. the quotes are important!
Place the batch file in the same folder your server is running from, and check to see if anything changes. This might solve your java path issue
Edit: this will launch the server without a GUI. It will look similar to what you saw before, but the program will run within a Command Prompt Shell. Commands and other behavior should be the same.

Hahahaha! That did it! Huzzah!
Thanks for all your help Mikko_Blu and CptSpaceToaster!
Batch files are powerful, in the event that you need to tell a program what to run, and how to run it!
Note: The two lines Xmx2048M and Xms2048M control how much RAM you are allocating to the server. Currently, you are using 2048Mb of Ram, and you can change this to your preference (2Gb should be fine, unless you plan on hosting a larger server)

Yeah, I plan on a max of 5 people. So, I think 2 Gb should be fine; just a small server for me and my friends.
Anyway, I open it and this is what happens (It is an unmodded Jar):
Anyone know what the problem is?
Click it or it will die...A cold painful death.

Is the Server folder located in the root of the C:/ drive?
Other than the Windows Firewall; no I don't have an anti-virus...though I need to get one.
The server; right now, is on my desktop (C:/Users/[Name]/Desktop).
