Java 32/64 bit conflict, cant find java directory

[ElManguel]

Launcher Version: 3.0.3 (recommended version)

Operating System: 64 bit operating system

Java Version: java 7 udate 5 (32 bit)

Antivirus Program: Microsoft security essentials

Description of Problem:

Ok here's the problem:

I have 64 bit operating system, but my minecraft won't work with 64 bit java, and I don't know why. Therefore I use a 32 bit java so my minecraft should work. But because I have an 64 bit operating system my technicpack says "can't find java directory". And if I use both a 32 and 64 bit java, it gives a conflict between the two.

What should i do to fix this???

Thanks for the help already

I'd personally figure out why it doesn't work with 64-bit Java. It's so much more efficient, and gives you better access to your RAM (32-bit has a 1.5GB max), not to mention being required for some of the newer mods, that you really should just get it working.

If you insist on using 32-bit Java, though, you could run the launcher .jar instead, and use a batch file to run it with the full path of the 32-bit version of Java. Come to think of it, that's probably a good way to get the 64-bit version working: use the .jar.

Hey yeah, I also installed the 64 bit java again and by using the jar version it doesnt give me a conflict. thanks mate!!!

Im a little confused about what you said Toezu. How do I use the .jar to get the launcher working with 64-bit java? I don't know what a batch file is, im a noob.

[Torezu]

Make a text file, and put this in it:

"c:\program files\java\jre7\bin\java.exe" -jar technic-launcher.jar

pause

Now save it with a .bat file extension into the folder with your technic-launcher, and run it (double-click should work). You may need to change the path for Java (unlikely) or the name of the launcher .jar (more likely).

I just did what you said and it worked perfectly thank you!! It is now using 64-bit java
