Error Log:

Try reinstalling your .Net frameworks

[wiloft]

Erm...? I'm sorry but what exactly are those?

I assume that's what Jay? meant by .net framework.

[Jay?]

Uh... try googling?

EDIT: Milk was faster. but yes, those are .net frameworks. I use plurals for them because some things still use older .net framework, so you might still need them.

[wiloft]

I'm trying that now. If it dosen't work I may see if I can find some sort of workaround.

EDIT: So apparently Technic isn't the only thing that won't work right...

...Is it possible to run Tekkit without using the launcher?

[Jay?]

Also, have you bothered trying to redownload the launcher, or clearing out your appdata/roaming/.techniclauncher folder?

It never even got the chance to make that folder! Wait...

...Apparently I don't even have a Roaming folder!

Is that possibly the problem?

EDIT: And I've redownloaded many times.

[Milk]

Are you using the launcher updater? (the one that's an .exe) I seem to recall having some trouble with that. But once you run it for the first time it should make a technic-launcher.jar in the Roaming folder (Or something. It definitely is a .jar though). Try running that as it doesn't run the updater, which in turn runs the jar.

Edit: You posted while I was typing.

Anyways, try making a Roaming folder. Maybe that will do it?

[Jay?]

No, that probably just means that you have folders hidden. youll need to unhide everything in appdata.

[Milk]

Isn't it just appdata that's hidden by default? The folders inside it shouldn't be hidden.

[wiloft]

Could it have something to do with the fact I haven't even installed the basic vanilla version?

Isn't it just appdata that's hidden by default? The folders inside it shouldn't be hidden.

And yeah, I don't even have the folder, plus it doesn't hide the Application Data (%appdata%) folder for me.

[Milk]

It shouldn't since the launcher downloads a fresh copy of everything from the minecraft site.

[wiloft]

Well is there any way I can just use a Tekkit .jar directly? I use the magic launcher anyways so it would be no problem switching from vanilla and back.

[Jay?]

That's... Odd. Give us some more system data.

EDIT: Actually, go to your Start menu, and search for %.techniclauncher%

[Milk]

It's not possible AFAIK. Make the roaming folder in appdata and then give the .exe launcher a go.

Edit: Do what Jay? said before you do this, just in case it installed somewhere else.

This happened to me once and my %appdata% folders went byebyes or something try in the search/run bar in the window "%appdataroamingvis%

i know it kinda looks stupid but if your computer is up to date has mine it might because im able to make my roaming invisible and visble but i never realized till 2 weeks, give it ago

[wiloft]

It isn't there. And here's some more information (Bullettime comencing) :

• System: Microsoft Windows XP Professional, Version 2002. SrvPk 3
  
• Computer: Intel Core2 Duo CPU, 3.00 GHz, 3.50 GB of RAM
  

I will post more specs if possible.

Not working.

[Mageleon3860]

Not working.

No clue then, its kinda impossible to loose your roaming its like one of the most important folders in your system

[wiloft]

It's not possible AFAIK. Make the roaming folder in appdata and then give the .exe launcher a go.

Edit: Do what Jay? said before you do this, just in case it installed somewhere else.

Also not working.

[Jay?]

Have you tried just doing a hard search for "roaming" ? Unless a bunch of other things on your computer aren't working, it wouldnt make sense for you to not have a "roaming" folder

[wiloft]

But seriously is there a way to workaround using the launcher and just using the .jar?

That's what I'm afraid of.

[Jay?]

That's what I'm afraid of.

What? you're afraid that if you look for the roaming folder, all your other programs will suddenly realize that it doesn't exist? It's a computer, not an experiment in quantum mechanics.

Schroedingers Folder: until you look for it, it is both causing bugs and not causing bugs.
