Well I have found the problem in my case which was my kaspersky anti-virus scans encrypted connections meaning it doesn't allow any downloading from minecraft.net/technicpack.net/amazon(in minecraft 1.6+ cases). I hope I may have helped many people on both regular minecraft launcher and technicpack launcher. here's where I found the info at: https://mojang.atlassian.net/browse/MCL-346 http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/1875742-bootstrap-error/ Happy Crafting!

The launcher is 297 now and i'm still having the same problems and error codes.... my log in has been my email since there was the whole mojang account thing and had been working fine until update 285. I'm hoping the launcher gets fixed because I rely on the technic launcher to play minecraft at all since A) i love mods and the new 1.6 minecraft launcher doesn't work for me.

Launcher Version: 285 Operating System: Windows 7 (64 bit) Java Version: Version 7 Update 45 Antivirus Program: Kaspersky Pure 3.0 Description of Problem: I try launching any packs in the technic launcher by putting in my log in information and clicking launch but nothing happens but the launch button turning black with white text. I can still change settings and navigate after the button turns black but it doesn't save any of my settings when I run the launcher again. I've tried wiping the ".technic" appdata folder but that didn't solve any problems. Also when I look into the ".technic" and look into the folders where the modpacks folders are, all I am greeted with is a bunch of the folders that are supposed to be there filled with the modpacks contents that are instead empty. Error Messages: None visible From the Launcher itself unless I open the console: javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed:
