It appears that the last launcher update fixed everything!

Again, thank you for your time and effort. I have seen a work around on http://forums.technicpack.net/threads/update-failed-on-development-build.30716/ However I do not feel a work around is a solution to an issue like this, and I have yet to try it out. Of the possible solutions you've suggested; the language is not the issue (English), as stated before I was not running the launcher as an administrator, but I am now, firewalls have all been disabled (even to the point of closing all non-essential processes), and I have tried to uninstall and reinstall everything (the launcher, minecraft, deleting everything in the .techniclauncher and the .minecraft folders, etc.). As far as the clearing the cashe, I haven't seen that anywhere either. That begs me to wonder if any of the others having this issue have tried to clear the cashe after receiving this error, or even if they think it might be related.

Still no definitive fix? I am seeing more and more of this "Update Failed" error in the bug reports. Am I to assume that this error could be caused by one of a zillion different issues, and no one has figured out what the cause is? I find it interesting that it is not being reported by everyone, or is the issue with one or two specific modes of play (tekkit, technic, vanilla). I am having no issue with tekkit or vanilla, just with technic. Others are having this issue with just tekkit. I'm just stating some interesting observations. However, I do want to thank you, Jorcer, for all your time trying to help all these errors. I've seen many of your posts on various errors and I understand how much time it can take to troubleshoot a multitude of issues. I will continue to wait for a solution.

I re-downloaded it today.

I apologize on the bumping request. Both the OS and Java are 64 bit. I was not running it as an administrator, but I have now tried that with no effect. There were no folders that I noticed that were created out of the .techniclauncher folder, however I did not search my entire file tree, just the AppData folder. On that subject, I understand how that might create an issue with the cashe clearing issue, but fail to understand how it would create the failure to update. If that were an issue, wouldn't that be a sever problem with the launcher (i.e. installing files in random directories; failing to clean up temporary installation files)? Thank you for the suggestions.

Launcher Version: 1.0.1.3 Operating System: Windows 7 Prof SP1 Java Version: 1.7.0_09-b05 Antivirus Program: Microsoft Security Essentials, Malwarebytes Description of Problem: Unable to update Technic, Unable to clear cashe (minor issue but may be connected). It seems like there are several people having a very similar issue. It also appears that the MD5 mismatch error without any of the Java (Unknown Source) errors, and the MD% mismatch with Java (Unknown Source) errors are two different problems. I've tried a fresh install and all of my internet floodgates are wide open. I do not mind n00b solution suggestions because some of the simplest fixes are the easiest to overlook. Please only reply with a solution, solution suggestion, or a link to a solution.
