"Your OS has prevented relaunch of launcher"

[JustSomeChick]

I got this error when I tried to launch Technic today.

" Your OS has prevented this relaunch from completing. You may need to add an exception in your security software."
 

I have NO idea what this means or why I am getting it. I have changed Nothing with my OS, or my "security software" - there hasn't even been an update today of said software. It's not windows specific, because I see someone on reddit with the same problem who is on a mac. Also, the launcher icon on my desktop disappeared after that fail and error message. ?? (so odd.)

I am unable to go into my security software to add an exception (yes, i know, i need new software) but again, this has never happened before.

Thanks for any input or direction here, would be much appreciated.

Title misspelled

just download the launcher anew from the Technic website

find whatever software that caused this and either make the launcher an exception or uninstall that security software

I went on IRC and got some guidance there - which was the same as yours. Apparently it's likely a failed update of the launcher. This worked for me - redownloading the launcher and putting it somewhere other than my .technic launcher

it's working for me now. 

 

Thank you for your help Munaus
