************** JIT Debugging **************

To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this

application or computer (machine.config) must have the

jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.

The application must also be compiled with debugging

enabled.



For example:



<configuration>

    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />

</configuration>



When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception

will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer

rather than be handled by this dialog box.

You have a 32-bit OS. Try running the .jar version of the launcher instead.

[darkguy159]

If I do that, it opens a command prompt window and then closes it after a sec or so. Can't make out what it says.

EDIT: I looked at some other threads and found a thread that said to make a batch file running the technic jar. It still popped up a batch file, and after editing in the words 'pause nogui' finally paused it. It said 'java' is not recognized.

Code: java -jar C:\Documents and Settings\James\Application Data\.techniclauncher\technic-launcher

pause nogui
