The same way you install a 32-bit OS? You might need to backup your documents. Oh, check if your system supports it.

TLDR; I see no java exception message in the logs. Should be fine. Try waiting longer. It doesn't take instant to finish all the download.

Seems legit.

Re: Wont Open I may not know anything about creating a batch file. But I do know how to use the shortcut to run the jar file for me. Yes, I am an undergrad and I don't know everything about computer. At least I do know how to run jar file according to different java. Choosing the IP I want to use when I plug in school's cable. Most importantly, know what OS-bit I am running on. Unless you are honest about your 'tried everything' there's nothing that the techs can do.

I don't think that's possible unfortunately.

Yes, it is trying to download something and it fails. Are you using wireless? It is safer to download with java 6 btw.

Pardon me but did you say updating a 32-bit to a 64-bit? I don't think you can simply update a 32-bit to a 64-bit.

Re: Wont Open Define "tried everything". Have you tried running the jar file. Do you even know how to run the jar file? PS: From the post I can tell that you are a computer noob.

Do you still have your java 6? If you do, try this. -Create a shortcut of the jar file. -Go to properties of the shortcut -Under 'Target:' type this "<where ever your java 6 is install in your comp>\java.exe" -jar "where ever it is targeted to originally" -Run the SHORTCUT

So I tried to run the technic launcher jar file on my desktop and it works perfectly. It seems that there are issues between my wireless connection and the server. So I plug the cable to my laptop and run technic launcher from there and it works.

Still fail but at least I realize what the problem could be. For some weird reason, my java is unable to access "http://mirror.technicpack.net/Technic/modpacks.yml" to download the "modpacks.yml". I can access the website myself to get the "modpacks.yml" myself but the launcher refuse to read it.

I tried again after restarting several times and the log always stuck at this line using java 6.

My launcher stuck at the splash screen. I don't see the solution for this in the common problem thread so I make a new topic. I hope someone can explain what the log is talking about.
