When conscript-0.4.4.jar is ran error "Error downloading sbt-launch-0.13.0 happens".

Solution

  • sbt-launch-0.13.0.jar was removed from sbt site. so you have to:

    1. Install sbt from the official site.
    2. Copy "sbt-launch.jar" from "C:\Program Files (x86)\sbt\bin" into "C:\Users{Username}.conscript"
    3. Make another copy of "sbt-launch.jar" in "C:\Program Files (x86)\sbt\bin" and rename it to "sbt-launch-0.13.0.jar"
    4. Run your conscript installation jar ("conscript-0.4.4-1.jar") and wait for it to finish.
    5. Add "C:\Users{Username}\bin" to your PATH environment variable.
