Technic launcher 285 gives Java Virtual Machine error

[jakalth]

I am unable to play any of the modpacks, even vanilla, using the updated Technic Launcher due to it throwing out a Java Virtual Machine error. Unable to start java virtual machine. Critical error, this application will shut down.

I get no error logs, no other warnings, nothing else useful to determine what the cause is. The error is thrown out after the launcher finishes the installation of the modpack, but just before it launches forge. The launcher it's self stays running as though nothing happened.

I have tried, forcing reinstall of mod pack, and doing a clean reinstall of the entire launcher. Still same error. I was playing the newest Tekkit last night with no problems. This only started after the update to launcher version 285.

System:

Windows XP x84(32 bit system only)

4Gb Ram

AMD dual core processor

latest version of Java for a 32 bit system.

No error to post, just the download log. Might have pertinent info in it though, no idea...

edit: found parts of the error burried deep in the log files. added the parts that pertained to it...

The rest was 64K of loading sound files and downloading mod files....

do you have UAC enabled? And launch via "run as admin"?

looks like you dont have writing permissions.. so maybe UAC

[jakalth]

Only one user and I am the admin. Home built computer as well so none of the sub-standard hardware installed...

It only started when technic launcher updated so I'm wondering if it has to do with the system being only 32 bit, not 64...

Well, at least I can still play vanilla minecraft using Mojang's launcher. 1.6.4... yay... : So at least I know it is not minecraft it's self.

[jakalth]

Any ideas? Even with the updated release I am still unable to play anything using the Technic Launcher... I'm forced to do it all manually and hope I can find the correct mods to match the packs... I just keep getting a Java Virtual Machine Launcher error. critical error program needs to shut down. No other crash logs other then the normal run log that is so large I can't even post the whole thing here.(65Kb log file)

Here: Is the error I have been getting... I've haven't had any errors with the launcher in close to a year until now, with the new 1.6 compatable version. If a fix isn't viable, then at least make an old version of the launcher available so I can at least play the game... This is getting quite frustrating.
