Launcher won't run, Help requested

[HoztileManikyn]

Just downloaded the latest version of Technic, but when i trey to launch it, all i get is the windows loading circle above the mouse, and that's it, nothing else happens.

I have Windows 8.1, but i doubt that's the reason

I had this issue and had no luck looking online, but I found a way to fix it for me. I made a tutorial!
