Illegal Characters In Path

[TorkWrench]

Hi, I'm relatively new here and a problem has been plaguing me for months. I've looked all over for solutions and could find none. When I attempt to run the Tekkit .exe, an error message pops up that reads:

"Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.

Illegal Characters In Path"

When I click Continue, the launcher stays stuck on a message that reads: "Checking Launcher Version". I am then unable to do anything from that point onwards except quitting the launcher. If I click Quit, the application closes.

If anyone could help me, that would be amazing.

I assume it means you have illegal characters within your path variable.

[TorkWrench]

To be honest, I have no Idea what that means. I'm not very good with computers.

[disconsented]

Your path variable has something wrong in it.

[TorkWrench]

Sorry.

[TorkWrench]

I got that much. But is there a way I can fix it?

[disconsented]

Yes.

[TorkWrench]

Will you tell me how?

[disconsented]

Yes

[TorkWrench]

Thank you.

Is there something I have to do for you to post the solution?

[disconsented]

Yes.

[TorkWrench]

Are you going to tell me what it is? If so, please do in the next post.

1. Right click Computer.
   
2. Click properties.
   
3. Click "Advanced system settings".
   
4. Click "Environment Variables".
   
5. Under system variables, find the Path variable.
   
6. Post your path variable.
   

Stop double posting and get rid of that meme

Hello?

[disconsented]

Are you sure that was your path Variable?

If that is true yours isn't set up at all.

What should the path Variable be?

If it's your Java Path go here: http://condor.depaul.edu/slytinen/instructions/setupj2sewin7.html

For 64 bit systems, it should be "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_03\bin" or something to that affect. Check your Program Files folder and the Java directory for the exact directory. FYI, it'd probably be easier to just re-install Java7 and try again.

If that doesn't fix it, abandon all hope here and go post a proper bug report in the proper forum (the bug forum).
