okay, to do a manual reinstall, go to user/appdata/roaming/and delete the whole .techniclauncher folder. You may want to delete and redownload the launcher exe as well.

What, out of curiosity, is the path for your copy of Java? It's usually something like C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin - that may be the source of the illegal character.

Yeah, I merged 5 posts in a row. Don't spam your own thread. There's an edit button for a reason.

Oh, and no, no one's going to email you their .techniclauncher folder, even if it were entirely legal, which I'm pretty sure it's not, as there are Minecraft files in there.

ok... I am not a hacker i just want to play tekkit!!!!!!!!!!! does anyone know a solution to this problem?

Where did I say you were a hacker? I was responding to your question by informing you that it's illegal because it contains Minecraft files, which you are not allowed to distribute. And really, reporting me? It doesn't do you much good.

Are you still using JDK 7? You want to get rid of that, unless you're programming in Java, and use JRE 7. Get the one to match your OS bit version (32- or 64-bit).

I'm having this same problem. I use 64-bit W7 and the latest Java. I have tried reinstalling both the Launcher and Java, but I'm still having this issue. My Windows username doesn't have anything but letters in it, so it shouldn't be the cause for this problem.
