Thanks Morbet, Running the .jar file made the launcher work and I was able to download and install, now if I could only get past this white screen and have the game finish loading...

Launcher Version: 1.0.1.0 Operating System: Windows 8 Pro x64 Java Version: java 7 update 7 x64 Antivirus Program: None Description of Problem: Upon double clicking the TechnicLauncher.exe file nothing is launched and the windows Technic Launcher has stopped working box from Windows pops up for a second and then goes away. So nothing is installed, nothing is downloaded, it doesn't even get to any kind of a splash screen. Things I have tried: - running the launcher as administrator - running the launcher in compatibility mode for windows 7 and as administrator - running the launcher in compatibility mode for windows xp service pack 3 After looking in the event log I see the exception that is being thrown is System.IO.DirectoryNotFound (See logs in the Error Log section) I am going to guess that the launcher is trying to check which version of windows is running but as to why it is causing a directory not found error I can't say, maybe I'm completely wrong. I am a .net developer but I am planning on downloading eclipse and taking a peak at the source to see if I can figure out exatley where the problem is. If any developers want to test this in Windows 8 check out the Windows 8 Release Preview which is free, I have an MSDN account which is how I am able to get the full version before it has gone public. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/release-preview Error Messages: Stopped working Error Log: ~/logs/launcher_init.txt blank since nothing has ran yet.
