ok, so was playing tekkit last night, normal experience of running like a dream. go to try and play today, get about 3 seconds of 'downloading technic launcher' before the normal startup procedure. then this message:
'found java but couldn't start the launcher, your java installation is probably corrupted'
followed by:
'system.componentmodel.win32exception: the requested operation requires an elevation
at system.diagnostics.process.startwithcreateprocess[processstartinfostartinfo]
at system.diagnostics.process.start[processstartinfostartinfo]
attechniclauncher.program.runlauncher[string launcherpath]
tried re-installing java, it was a newer version of java i got so i assumed the technic launcher download was some form of update for newer java. still got the same message. so i uninstalled java and re-installed the version i had currently been running. still the same message.
tried vanilla minecraft and it fired up fine until i got a message telling me:
'the java virtual machine doesn't have enough memory'
dont know if thats related, but atm i cant play either minecraft or tekkit.
any clues on whats up here? dont think its actually a tekkit based problem but i figured this would be a good place to ask.
