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.

Also, turn of AVG and redownload if you still have problems.

I sorta guessed I had to turn of the antivirus. Thanks!

No problem, glad you got it fixed.

Actually I havent got it fixed just yet, I am not quite sure how to change it from .zip to .jar and I can't seem to figure out how to make it an exception on AVG.

Just rename the file from blahblah.zip to blahblah.jar to change the extension. Then uninstall AVG and get a better free AV . If you want to keep AVG (dunno y but whatever) you should just disable it while the pack downloads.
