0 OldTiger Posted August 22, 2012 Author Posted August 22, 2012 This is a FRESH install of Win7, and I JUST downloaded and installed the most recent 64bit version of Java. I'm at a loss.... any help would be GREATLY appreciated :D Quote
0 Torezu Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 Have you rebooted since your brand-new Java install? Either that, or add Java to the system path variable manually. The launcher will probably not like running if it can't find Java. Quote

The launcher will probably not like running if it can't find Java. Thanks for the reply Torezu Yes, the first thing I do after ANY install is to reboot my PC so that's not it. Haven't tried the system path variable modification though... where would I look for that in Win7 ? And you're talking about the physical path to the Java.exe file, IE: C\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\Java.exe ? Quote
0 MrDEEJAYATH99 Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 the same thing happends to me and i have win7 and 64bit i have tried to start it with right clicking the winrar file and open with java se but then the technic launcher just stops and just stay there and never dissapers so i have to logg of and start the pc again Quote

And you're talking about the physical path to the Java.exe file, IE: C\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\Java.exe ? Yeah, except the java.exe isn't in the path, you just add ";C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin" to the end of your path variable. It's in Control Panel > System > Advanced System Settings > Advanced tab > Environment Variables... Make sure you just add that to the path instead of replacing the whole path. If that doesn't work, try the .jar version of the launcher instead. Quote
0 OldTiger Posted August 22, 2012 Author Posted August 22, 2012 I've tried both the .exe launcher, and direct to the .jar java executable with the same result. I'll try the environ variable trick, but I'm suspecting it's something in either the way the 64bit OS is running the mods, or a system permission setting somewhere deep in the bowels of Win7 that I've yet to learn about...

0 Torezu Posted August 22, 2012 Posted August 22, 2012 If you know how, use a batch file to run the .jar with Java, and add "pause" as a second line to see if it gives you an error message. The batch will look something like this: java -jar technic-launcher.jar pause Quote
0 OldTiger Posted August 22, 2012 Author Posted August 22, 2012 Man... I can't remember the last time I scripted a bat file! LOL I'll try that and see if anything shows up (if I can remember the script that is! lol). I'm leaning more and more to a windows permission thing, and less of a Java vs. Windows thing, as the standard Minecraft runs just fine. I would think that if it had to do with Java running in Win7, then Minecraft would fail too... Quote
0 OldTiger Posted August 23, 2012 Author Posted August 23, 2012 Tried the BAT file... no go. It paused but no errors registered. The splash screen just sat there, taunting me Quote
0 OxidisedGearz Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 i'm having the same problem, but on 32 bit JRE (and JDK [if that matters]) so its not exclusive all my java stuff is messed up since java v7u5 came out, i needed to script a bat file to make mc run at all and i cant program mc to run with more ram anymore its really weird. P.S. the spash screen can't be closed and doesn't register as anything on my task manager page... it makes me mad that i cant play tekkit HELP Quote
0 OxidisedGearz Posted August 23, 2012 Posted August 23, 2012 well... i fixed it... somehow not sure what i did.... i just did what i always do when mc doesnt work, i go through the files (looking for fishy stuff), delete meta-inf, retry, retry as admin, re-download, restart run it using a script i created, and just about everything else until it worked.... soezzzerrm, im of no help now Quote
0 dusty_bin Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 i've got that problem, did those steps--no luck :( Quote
0 OxidisedGearz Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 view the other bug links too, they helped me a lot. but truthfully, idk what i did Quote
