Troubleshoot:

Make sure your anti-virus and firewalls are disabled while trying to connect to minecraft.net (while logging in, connecting to a server)

Uninstall Java, then delete your .techniclauncher folder. Restart your computer (it's not required, but it never hurts to give it a break)

Reinstall the correct version of Java for your computer (ensure the bit type matches)

Redownload the Launcher.

Try to run the .exe, if this does not work, look in your .techniclauncher folder, make sure you have a .jar file in there.

If you do not, and the .exe doesn't work, do 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.

If double click doesn't work with the .jar:

Right click on the .jar file, open with Java.

If none of those work, try running as administrator.

I've already looked through the common problems thread, and it gave me no answers.

I re-downloaded the newest everything (Technic launcher and java) and it still didn't work.

I had to download the .jar, and tried to open it with java, I got the command prompt box for half a second and nothing else happened.

I've been trying to run this as admin the whole time, but nothing seems to be working.

It's not a problem with the firewall, because it doesn't have a chance to connect to the internet, it just closes the moment it tries to open.

Common troubleshooting solutions havn't worked for me, that's why I'm posting here. >.>

I have a blank Launcher_Init log.

The copy paste is just to make sure it is not something we have solved before. If the Launcher never launches there would be no log so no worries if you don't have one. Do you have more than one Java?

[Agent Titan]

I have one version of java, but when I open the folder, it shows me Java, Javaw, and Javaws.

I've been using the one that says java to attempt to open the .jar.

I suggest removing JDK, if that's actually what you have, and installing JRE from the Oracle site. JDK, or the Java Developer's Kit, is for Java programming, and while it includes the JRE (Java Runtime Environment), it doesn't always run Java applications the best.

Yes, I was using the wrong java. Thanks for the help. ^^
