launcher exe not working for me

[w1ll1am78]

I open Launcher exe and it opens for a split second and then closes and does nothing in the process. Does anyone know why and how I can fix this? Thank you. And yes I am stupid

Try the .jar. Avoid saying you're stupid here. People will notice and comment. Rather consider yourself uninformed. Learn to inform yourself, and your residence here will be of a higher quality.

Im having the same problem, but if i change to .jar, i cant allocate enough memory as it is limited to 1.5gb so i lose in all possible ways :(

[Guest Ysharma]

do you not have enough memory or do you want to allocate more?

[starr274]

okay i've accepted that the tekkit launcer .exe does nothing are there instructions in the jar anywhere I opened it with 7Zip

odds are if its closing like that its not recognizing java or you dont have java on your machine. first uninstall all versions of java installed on your machine. second install a fresh copy of java 7 update 5 64 bit if you have a 64 bit machine of course. try the exe again ;)

Try Running the .exe as Administrator. It worked for me.

same thing happens to me with the .exe file and when i run the .jar file i can only run technic, hack/mine, and vanilla i cant run tekkit, voxelbox, or yogbox. i tried the run as administrator and it brings up the "checking for updates" screen for like 2 seconds and now im gunna try the alocated memory thingy

I dont have any trouble running any of the Technic mod packs and I have only allocated 512mb of memory , with around 40fps with everything on "fast" in optifine .

1.5gb should be more than enough.

If it opens and closes right after try reinstalling 7zip or install winrar and uncheck that it can open JAR files then it should work
