I just downloaded the Technic Launcher 7.2 off the website, i click it, its asks if i want to run it, i click yes, and it says "Technic launcher updater has stopped working " I re-downloaded the launcher multiple times, and it still refuses to work. i have the latest version of java which i downloaded a short while ago because someone said that would work, and it still refuses to work.

Launcher 7.2 does not exist. Disable Norton.

[MurphyCraft]

ah i see, 7.2 is whats on the website, but of course i must be wrong.

Thank you for your help, that didn't work though.

[Ashzification]

7.2 does not exist. The launcher version that is current is 1.0.1.3

7.2 is whats on the website

That is the dev build of Technic, not the launcher.

[MurphyCraft]

ah.

Any other suggestions then ?

[Ashzification]

Delete .techniclauncher. Uninstall Java.

Restart your computer.

Disable your antivirus.

Reinstall Java, the correct Java for your Windows Version (32/64)

Redownload techniclauncher.

Run.

Do not turn your AV on until you are in your modpack of choice.

Did exactly what you just told me to do, and still no luck.

Sorry, I don't know then. 95% of the time it's simple user error. Seems the handful of people trying to get it to work tonight can't use basic troubleshooting options. Wait for someone smarter to come along and help :)

he just said you'r no help and now I know why.Soz kid I can't help I've got the same pobs

[Ashzification]

That made no sense at all. I just relay the information I have learned to people whose problems fit the solution. I thought it would work for him as usually it does. I admitted I do not know the answer, therefore I know I am no help. Unlike you however, I am trying to provide helpful information based on the original post, whereas, you have posted nothing but "same problem bro" crap.

[MurphyCraft]

I appreciate the help.

Try this:

Download the jar file from the website. I.e. Click download launcher and then click the Linux/Jar option. Copy the jar file to your %appdata%>.techniclauncher folder.

Click the windows button, type cmd into the search bar and select cmd. In this black box, type

java -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Xmx1G -jar %APPDATA%\.techniclauncher\technic-launcher-latest.jar

See if that works for you.

[MurphyCraft]

It still didn't work, the jar file doesn't run either.

I'm beginning to think its an owner problem, not the people downloading it.

it was fine until it was updated not theres well over 100 posts about it and its problems with no solution.

Actually he thanked her for taking the time to try and help him. She did that because he took the time to post his own bug report and fill out the info required. You on the other hand barge in here, insult one of the people who could help you and then say yah I can't help. So you did less than Ashzification.

MurphyCraft: When you downloaded the jar from the site make sure it is a .jar file. If it is a zip file, change the extension to .jar and try running it with Java.

I'm getting an issue attempting to run this line that is possibly caused by my windows username having a space in it. Not the best thing, but then I didn't choose it in this case. Java is telling me it can't find anything in "C:/Users/Alexander" because the name put on this pc was my full name, and it seems it can't handle spaces in folder names. Who knows, maybe that is causing the launcher to crash out, at least for me.

Yep a space in the windows user name is now a documented bug and one of the forum users has submitted a fix to the devs who are evaluating it.

Problem solved, its the owners fault, just download a later version of the Technic pack and update it to the newer version, worked for me, sense no one knew the fix to this problem. Thank you all for the help.

Have you got a link for the older version? I'm having exactly the same problem as you described and have tried everything under the sun. I appreciate how frustrating it is -__-

Yep because everyone has this issue and no one know how to fix it... Why would downloading an earlier version of the Launcher then updating it help at all? Blaming the "owners" is probably one of the reasons you have a pink name...

Download is in the description. This isn't the one i used because the one i used is no longer available.

[MurphyCraft]

Hey its what worked for me ok.

This version they just released clearly has a problem that isnt the users fault.

[Swifty]

I can't seem to download anything from 'fileice' without a 'premium account'. The regular download link takes you to all that surveys bull.

[Ashzification]

Well swifty, your problem is probably that you don't have a premium account.

...I'm laughing on the inside, honest.

Problem solved. I didn't know how to change a file extension... like a moron.

Hey at least you got it working so your not a complete moron ;)

I do think there is a problem with the networking logic. It works fine for me with Java 6.
