Cant launch Tekkit

[JohnJohn1983]

Hi,

Before I start yes I have read other posts trying to find help and Ive done those but still nothing.

At first I got checking launcher version for about 1sec then it goes. I read the sticky post and updated my JAVA to 7 as told so I got the 64bit version as I have 64bit vista ultimate. Installed and restarted PC and tried launcher again but this time it stayed up for afew more seconds then vanished again. I checked for files in appdata and I have the .techiclauncher in the roaming folder but still tekkit wont load up/launch.

I have mcafee antivirus plus, 64bit bit windows vista ultimate.

Does anyone know if Ive missed anything out?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I had the same problem. Go to start<run and type in %appdata%

<.techniclauncher then find the jar file and run it. Should work fine but it only works by that.

How do I launch it? in the .techniclauncher folder is a technic-launcher jar file but I cant run it?

Ive tried right clicking then going to open but then a small black window pops up then vanishes quickly. Their isnt a run option.

set Java as your "open with" program when right clicking on the jar. Also, mcafee is probably blocking your download since the exe should work for 64 bit systems.
