Description of Problem:

I have the latest version of the Launcher. Whenever I try to load up Technic Pack or Tekkit, it crashes just after the MOJANG screen. This all started after latest update. Below is the error report when I tried to load Tekkit.

Update Java to 7u5 (and get rid of the old one(s)). You should probably go grab a new copy of the launcher as well, unless you've done that in the past few days.

[Quin254]

I have done both of these things, but it still doesn't work. Anything else I can try?

update java to Java JDK 7u6
