There's no program with that name on my system.

here's the link to my thread: http://forums.technicpack.net/threads/launcher-doesnt-work.56712/

Launcher Version: 383 Operating System: Windows 7 Java Version: 1.7 Antivirus Program: Microsoft Essentials Description of Problem: I cannot login into Technic Launcher. My login details are fine and I have opened a port in firewall. I have tried deleting the launcher, deleting the roaming data and re downloading but nothing seems to work. I tried logging in using my brother in laws login which works fine on his PC and the same thing happened, my brother in law was able to login on his PC using my login details.
