Modpack Not Installing Correctly

[ChaosTheDude]

The other day I submitted a modpack to Technic Launcher, and so so far it’s been working fine for me. However, I am using OS X 10.9.5 and no one using Windows has been able to launch the pack, to my knowledge. I’ve had 7 people running Windows (both 7 and 8 and Java versions 7 and 8) attempt to launch the pack and they’ve all experienced the same problem. The pack finishes downloading, but the “Install” button remains. If you click the button, the installation bar will appear for a second or two, then just return to the “Install” button again. It's an endless loop. Yet when I have someone running OS X attempt to launch the pack, they have no problem with it. This is the same person who cannot launch the pack on their PC, same Java version on both machines. According to multiple people who have downloaded it, the bin folder is as it should be (modpack.jar), config folder only has 4 files (the first 4 files that should be in the folder, out of about 160), and I believe the rest are empty. Here’s the console log (have compared to the other logs, they’re identical):

 

[b#231] java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:UsersSAppDataRoaming.technicmodpackschaos-realm-modpackconfigAppliedEnergistics2.cfg (The system cannot find the path specified)

I’ve tried everything I can think of, and I’ve only been able to find one thread on the forums reporting the same issue, but that one was locked for being posted in the tracker. I’ve verified that the pack is set up correctly (and seeing as it runs perfectly for me and on another Mac, it must be) so I am really not sure where to go from here. If anyone else has experienced this problem or knows of a fix, that’d be great. Thanks!

• Your modpack archive has two folders named "/config/AppliedEnergistics2/". You should delete the one that does not have the extracells config file.
• Some of your mods are very out of date (CoFH mods, Waila, etc.)

Thanks for the response, I'm updating the pack now and will let you know if it works.

Tried deleting the extra AppliedEnergistics2 folder, same result with the same console messages and everything. I'll try updating the mods that have much newer versions available, but I'm not sure how doing this would fix this problem, seeing as the pack does not appear to launch at all, rather that it's stuck in an "Installing" loop.

Something is messed up with the way you are assembling the pack. I extracted your modpack archive, and just re-zipped it and it worked fine after that.

It's working now, I got a friend to extract and compress the archive on their PC then upload it. Not sure how this changed anything (as I viewed the contents of both archives through terminal and they appear to be identical), but anyway. Thanks for your help!
