Hi, Sorry i didn't reply this for some time, but had a bit of a time shortage cause of my job. About the batch file, i know how to make one of them, i just don't know what i have to put in it. Is it the same thing as in the threat "http://forums.technicpack.net/threads/incorrect-java-being-used-update-failed-fix.4112/"?

How do you mean, how are you running the .jar? I just go into the .techniclauncher file and click on the .jar file, not sure if that's the answer you were looking for though.

I have, and MSE is the only antivirus i ever had, so there wasn't any other anti-virus software in the list. As for the Jave, there is the Java 7 update 5 in the list, but also something called Java FX 2.1.1. Could this be interfering (sorry if spelled wrongly) with the other Java software for the technic launcher or is it "harmless"?

Didn't work aswell, i'm back to where i started it seems, the same issues with the tumblr feed and download failed. I've been deleting/redownloading the launcher the whole day now to see if i could get it back running like it did last night, but to no end. To be honnest, i have no more ideas as to what is the problem. Sorry to keep bothering you with this, but it just seems so strange nothing works to install it.

Problem solved, after many many many redownloads and such, the launcher finaly yielded and started downloading. Never mind what i typed here earlier, this morning the same thing occured again, eventhough i have technic SSP installed, it said "update failed" and "the tumblr feed is down" and all icons are grey. I have no idea why that 1 attempt yesterday night broke through, so i guess i'll be back of to try again. Getting close to the point now i'm just going to accept i'll never be able to make the launcher and /or technicSSP work on my pc

Unfortunatly, when i tried doing it again (deleting the .techniclauncher folder, disabeling both AV and firewall and re-downloading the technic launcher from http://www.technicpack.net/technic/), it still gives a) me a launcher with no visible tekkit/technic/yogbox/etc icons, eventhough i can click on them when they are grey the tumblr feed is down c) update failed d) no builds found. I'll try and do these thing a couple of times more in an attempt to make it work. Eventhough it still doesn't work, thanks again for your help, and sorry for this annoying case.

I've done what you suggested, but i'm afraid it didn't produce a solution. It still remains a mystery for me.

There were multiple log files in "logs", i don't know what one or how much you need of it, so i picked the most recent file and copy/pasted a small part of what was inside, since most of it is recurring, as you will see, and it was well beyond the max 5000 characters for a post.

Yes i'm sorry, i forgot, i allways use the .jar file in the .techniclauncher. And the antivirus i have is MSE, whitch means i use Windows Firewall (correct?), so i allowed acces through there. As far is a checked, there aren't any other options within MSE, that can make issues with the launcher.

Yes, i've been doing all of these things.I've read the sticky about Java and tried a number of things from there and i'm 99.99% sure it is ok. As for the .techniclauncher, i went to the %appdata% and pressed delete on the .techniclauncher and delete the .exe file aswell (i hope that is/was enough). Also just discovered a couple of things today, that might also be of value for the problem: -The launcher connects to mincraft.net after i log in, but when it goes into " checking for updates", i get the "updating failed" message. -When i press options in the launcher, it says next to the Modpack Build: "no builds found". I hope these things can povide more information on the problem, and of course thank you you very much for helping, in advance.

Launcher Version: The latest version on Operating System: Windows 7 (64) Java Version: Java 7.5 Antivirus Program: Microsoft Security Essentials Description of Problem: The Launcher doesn't display the images for the modpacks; a message states that "O noes, our tumblr feed is down", and after pressing login there is a message stating "updating failed" These things happened 2 days ago (28/7/2012) , after i decided to play technic pack again. I allready did the following options: 1) Deleting / reinstalling the technic launcher and /or minecraft file in %appdata% 2) Allowing acces through the firewall (windows fire wall) 3) Fixing java, downloading the latest version and assuring the right version is connected to the technic launcher 4) Tried fixing my internet, only to find out it was allready workign perfectly fine. My questions on this are a) Am i the only one experiencing this right now, or is everyone getting the same issues (For example, the servers are down is this a problem due to my own pc, or is it a internet /server issue c) can you help me fixing this issue? (i've allready been looking for 2 days on the forums here, and on other forums like the one at yogscast.com) Thanks in advance! Error Messages: Error Log:
