Technic Launcher will not proceed at banner

[BrilliantLotus]

Launcher Version: 7.2

Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

Java Version: 7.0.50

Antivirus Program: Uninstalled all and firewall is off

Description of Problem:

I decided to get the Technic Launcher today for the mods, and I did a fresh install of MC. I ran the launcher and the bar that downloads Technic appeared. It finished and the banner of Technic opened up. Then it froze there. I spent an hour figuring out what went wrong, and I think I found it out. I've deleted the .techniclauncher folder multiple times, and I noticed something. The files seem incomplete. Other people have a problem in which they have only 1 file, the technic-launcher.jar file. I have a launcher folder, logs folder, temp folder, launcher.properties file, and technic-launcher.jar file.

I have tried deleting the other files besides the technic-launcher.jar and ran the launcher again, but I get the same problem. I uninstalled my AV and turned off the firewall to no avail. I just keep getting the banner, and nothing happens.

Is there a known fix for my problem? Any help would be very much appreciated.
