Can you paste your launcher.bat information?

Thanks

Also I would update to Java 7

[slayer6991]

java -Xmx1G -Xms1G -jar Tekkit.jar nogui

pause

Here's the launcher info, and ok I will update my Java

[slayer6991]

I just updated

Are you using Java 32 bit of 64 bit?

[slayer6991]

32 bit

[penorzilla]

I would go into Add/Remove Programs... Uninstall anything Java related.

Download and install this:

http://mc.penorzilla.com/jre-7u4-windows-i586.exe

[slayer6991]

ok

[slayer6991]

Installing the 64 bit now

It STILL didn't work even with the new java I downloaded from that link

You may need to restart if you just removed all old versions and installed Java 7. If that still doesn't work, add Java to your system path variable.

[treeman16]

you need to download another java file aswell

i had the same problem but once i got this and added it the the path variable it works fine.

instead of worrying about if your system variable is set for java just call it manually "%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" also im not sure what those guys were giving you links to java 7 update 4 which is fine an all but if ur like me always after the newest java is at update 5 so best to get it from java.com

Again, in multiple cases java isn't installed in that location, which is we why we use system variables. If the java system variable isn't set, there is an issue with Java and it should be re-installed regardless to ensure system stability.

There isn't any differences between update 4 and update 5 of Java when it comes to hosting minecraft servers.

first those multiple cases are usually when a person knows enough to place java in another directory and if they know that much they would know how to change the directory in their .bat "%ProgramFiles%\Java\jre7\bin\java.exe" is for the user that does not. and as for the system variables being recognized some computers with their setups just don't want to do it. I have seen multiple instances where no matter how many times a person tries to install java there environmental variables would not set for java. even if they set them manually. so rather then go through the pain of explaining to someone on how to set their environmental variables its SO MUCH simpler just to explain to them how to call it manually. especially when you see a post like this time and time again. And as far as diffrences with update 4 and update 5 ya their is not any diffrences with minecraft but it doesnt mean that it does not affect the rest of the system. when a developer puts out an update their is usualy a reason for the update.....

if the rest of them are not working its not java that is ur problem. try clearing your cache by opening your launcher hit options and hit clear cache. the launcher does the rest of the work for you

[Hampster_Teddy]

its applying an update

[Hampster_Teddy]

it just gives me a white screen. and rest of the packs work. tekkit is the only one not working

[soulgriever]

[Hampster_Teddy]

H_T: Start your own bug report, instead of threadjacking.

[Hampster_Teddy]

[Hampster_Teddy]

[Hampster_Teddy]
