Please don't beg or use the caps lock button. Also, please use the edit button.

Save your .techniclauncher folder elsewhere (on a flash drive preferably)

Delete .techniclauncher from the %appdata%/Roaming

Uninstall Java

Reinstall Java, the correct version of Java for your computer

Redownload the launcher

Make sure that you have your antivirus off/disabled during this time.

Please let me know if this works, we're trying to compile a comprehensive list of all people having this issue.

Also, can you let me know which actual version of Windows you have?

If none of this works, try using the jar.

I was getting there, just trying to make sure his issue can go on my list. He would be the first 32 bit I've found, and would maintain the Java 7 issue

One thing to keep in mind is that almost all of them will have Java 7 because if they didn't they would run into other problems before they got to this one. They might still experience it but they can't get far enough into the process to have the "Stopped Working" error.

Yeah I know, but one common link is better than possibly one common link.

Oh I know, just saying that you shouldn't get too hung up on the Java version. It is important and applicable, but it should be the only thing you look for :)

[Ragi169]

My actual version of windows is Windows 7 Proffesional.

I'm going to check today if it works

[Ragi169]

Hey guys which Java should I get because I've got a 32 bit computer and what website should I download it from

Cheers

When I was going through the bug reports, I noticed that most of the "the .exe doesn't work" reports were 64 bit, instead of 32 bit. So it would appear that this issue affects people with 32 bit and 64 bit java. My gut feeliing on this one is that it's an issue with the way the .exe (a windows executable file) tells the .jar (a java executable file) to run.

Windows 7 64 bit OS, Intel i7 2.4 GHz processor, 16 GB ram, I have been playing Tekkit single player and multiplayer, I updated to 64 bit Java because I read it might help me with the 'out of memory' error I've been getting, now tekkit won't start at all. I get a brief flash of a cmd window then nothing. Please tell me what else I can tell you to help you help me. Thanks!

edit: antivirus: Microsoft Security Essentials

[Ragi169]

That has not worked :(

[Jorcer]

That has not worked

What didn't work? You need Java 7 32bit and you download it from the Java website (IIRC it is Oracle)

This is not your bug report so you are unlikely to get help here. If you search around the forums and read the stickys and that still doesn't help, post your own bug report.

"This is not your bug report so you are unlikely to get help here." Ok, thanks anyway.

"This is not your bug report so you are unlikely to get help here." Ok, thanks anyway.

If you post your own I will be glad to help. The reason I say you should post your own is because to post one, you need to include some basic info that will help us troubleshoot your issue.

EDIT: OP try this:

I am getting a “Technic Launcher has Stopped Working Error”!

If your launcher is encountering this error, a solution is to download the .jar file from http://www.technicpack.net/download/ (pick the third from the left (Linux/Jar)). If you are using Internet Explorer you will also need to change the file extension (the ending of the file) to .jar instead of .zip. Once you’ve done that, all you need to do is double-click on the file to run the launcher.

I have the same problems.

Launcher Version: Technic SSP (the .exe)

Operating System: Windows 7 Professional x64

Java Version: Java 7u7 32 bit + Java 7u7 64 bit

Antivirus Program: AVG, disabled

UAC also disabled.

Data Execution Prevention also disabled.

Description of Problem:

When running TechnicLauncher.exe it loads for about 2 seconds and then Windows comes up with the crash notification.

I will now try the jar, which is, oddly, about 10 times larger.

And just to be clear, average users would never think of trying the jar because the download button is prefixed with 'Linux' making people believe it is Linux-only.

As Jorcer has said "This is not your bug report, so you are unlikely to get help." Go post your own bug report instead of trying to hijack someone else's bug report.

[youtakun]

No need to go angry on me. According to my professional guesstimation it's the same bug, so I'm just providing more information. That's hardly hijacking. And off I go, no need to reply to me anymore as the jar works for me.

Oh, and as for the .jar being "about ten times larger" than the .exe, there is nothing woerd about that, as all the .exe does is run the .jar. That's why me and several other people have been trying to figure out why the .exe doesn't work, as all it does is run the .jar. So it makes perfect sense that .jar files is larger, as it does not do the same thing as the .exe.

[Ashzification]

I'd like to point out, we are not angry with anyone. But many of these problems are, in fact, different. So by posting your own bug report we can give you your own answer. Otherwise, try the solutions offered to other people, and if they work, don't post at all.

...Wow in the same thread I told someone else not to threadjack you came and threadjacked. The funny thing is if you had tried the fix I showed the OP, you could have save all of us time by not posting. As for the reason no-one would think about using the jar, I have posted this exact same solution on about 25 other topics you could have searched for 2 seconds to find the fix.
