Launcher wont run and cant execute jar file

[Braknov]

Launcher Version: 7.2 i think, downloaded it today

Operating System: Windows 7 running 64 bit

Java Version: 7u9 both 32bit and 64 bit

Antivirus Program: Avast but turned it off

Description of Problem:

Ok so this be a bit weird. I downloaded and tried to run the exe launcher, resulting in "Technic Launcher Updater has stopped working." As such I tried to use Jorcer's suggestion and downloaded the jar file. The problem here is that it wont execute. I updated my java and even tried to manual set the jar file to open with the javaw and java apps from my java folder.

I then randomly re-downloaded the exe launcher and when running it it gave a very different error message as seen below.

Error Messages:

Cannot Load: C:\Users\myname\AppData\Roaming\logs

after hitting "ok" the following pops up

Requested registry access is not allowed.

at Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey.OpenSubKey(String name, Boolean writable)

at TechnicLauncher.Program.GetJavaFileAssociationPath()

at TechnicLauncher.Program.LogBasicSystemInfo(TextWriter log)

at TechnicLauncher.Program.Main()

Error Log:

No log files have been generated besides launcher_init

There is no Java 7u9 and your computer cannot have 62bits

You should uninstall Java 32 bit and try again.

[Braknov]

Sorry meant 64, it was a typo. And yes there is 7u9 http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

I will try your suggestion though.

Edit: Uninstalled and reinstalled Java 32 bit (both 7u7 and 7u9 versions) and still no dice.

[Jorcer]

Well what do you know! Must have updated recently. Thanks for the info

Try using Java 7u7 (64bit) and getting rid of all other Javas

[Braknov]

Tried uninstalling the other javas and running only 64bit 7u7 and still seeing the same problems.

[Jorcer]

Have you tried running it with Java as an admin?

[Braknov]

Yeah but no dice.

Edit: Ok so I tried to run it via command prompt which at first didn't work due to the launcher jar being in my user folder and my folder contains a space which command prompt doesnt like. Upon moving it to my c drive I could execute it via command prompt (java -jar C:\techniclauncherlatest) and it worked! I still dont know why I cant run it by double clicking but I guess I can just make a batch file to do the command prompt stuff for me in the future.

I have the exact same problem except that when I try to put my .jar file of the technic launcher into the c drive and then run it through command prompt, it does NOT work for me. :/

Really glad you figured it out (I would have never thought of doing what you did ) Have fun!

Then post your own bug report. Coming in here saying "Me too" is useless. Especially because the issue has already been resolved.
