[zaf1864]

Hey I've got a problem, my launcher wont open

I have McAfee

I Just downloaded java 64 (my os is 64)

This is windows if you couldn't tell but if you couldn't tell don;t bother posting a response (lol)

http://youtu.be/qFPPIFuqD7Y is a link to a video I made that shows this problem

Yeah, buddy, it's great that you got 64 bit java, but did you get java 6 or java 7?

[zaf1864]

I just downloaded it so i think it would be 7 how would I check that, I'm not very good at this kind of stuff

chances are you got java 6.

Google Java 7 specifically.

you were right

@jay I downloaded it from the java website which doesn't have java 7 (dafuq?) i'll tell you if it works soon

edit:

It does have java 7, but you have too squint your eyes and look real hard.

I noticed when showing my friends the launcher that it seems to be normal to just go "No, I totally have the correct version of Java. I made sure of that not long ago" and never actually check. Why is it so hard to check for some people? Should be done just to be sure.

alright so i just downloaded java 7 and the same problem to go into more detail what happens it i click on technic it comes up saying "do you want to allow this to make changes on your computer" or whatever so i click yes and then it shows up with checking launcer version for like 1 second then just goes away

im re-installing java do i chose source code or development tools?

[zaf1864]

reinstalled java still doesn't work

It's really weird, this same thing is happening with my friend's attempt to install. I managed to talk him through updating his java to 64 bit (still Java 6 though, might try Java 7 next), then manually using Java to open the jar. Apparently what he's getting is a split second Command window, then nothing. Of course the .exe is a no go as well.

Hi, I am haveing the same problem where, after I have downloaded the launcher I click on it and a security message shows up I tell it to allow the program then a small window pops up for a split second that says "Checking Launcher Version" with a blank loading bar under it. I am not sure if I have successfuly installed java 7 (64-bit) but I at least attempted to. I'm wondering if maybe my MC version is a problem as in it is too advanced maybe? <--(1.2.5 is what I have) Any help would be much apreciated. Also if more information is needed I will gladly provide as much as I can. Thank you!

NVM I got it working using another forum post: VVV

Help Please, Laucher closes imediatly after opening (RESOLVED)

I also managed to resolve the issue my friend was having by giving him a copy of my .techniclauncher and having him run the JAR in there. Still don't know why, but it worked so I'm not going to question it.

try "windows key" and "R", type "%appdata%", should be a folder called ".techniclauncher" and inside of it should be a executable file jar called "technic-launcher" , double click on it. should work..
