Does the Technic Launcher work on the Windows RT

[MrSteamie]

Does the Technic Launcher, and Tekkit Classic, work on the Windows RT Surface? If it does not work, does anyone know what App I need from the Windows store to run it?

Thanks!

Hey there.

 

Unfortunately, you cannot use Java on RT.  Oracle last I'd heard had decided that RT was not going to be supported.  Probably the only thing Oracle has done that I don't want to smash their face in for.  The Surface RT uses an ARM processor, which does not work with the Intel instruction set.

 

In other words, general computers "speak" Intel.  The Surface RT "speaks" ARM.  Since java, and many programs are written and compiled to "Intel", the ARM doesn't understand it.

 

Personally, I'd return the Windows RT tablet, and get a real computer that isn't dumbed down.
