Launcher issue - FML!

[[email protected]]

Description of Problem: Alright - I have been playing Tekkit for a time now (Love it!!), and now a friend of mine wants to tag along (great!) - However we met a problem doing so. Everytime he starts the TechnicLauncher, then the download box appears for a few seconds only to disappear right away. Now we have tried installing Java (64-bit javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=63692) with no luck. We did try delete the %appdata% techniclauncher folder + techniclauncher, and then download it again - same result happened.

We also installed the JDK Java 7 (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-7u4-downloads-1591156.html) and yet no luck getting past the launcher who disappear.

Operating System: 64 bit, W7

Antivirus: Kaspersky

I was thinking if he needs to use the JRE instead of JDK?

I did check the common problems and solutions thread (http://forums.technicpack.net/index.php/topic,4193.msg25703.html#msg25703), specially the "Opening the .exe does nothing, or flashes a loading icon, or says "checking launcher version", then closes.

This is a Java issue. The most common cause is using 32 bit Java. If your Operating system is 64 bit, make sure you update to the latest 64 bit version of Java. Links on www.technicpack.net.

If no matter what you do, the exe just doens't work, go to your .techniclauncher folder and there should be a .jar in there. If not then download

it from www.technicpack.net and use that. Read further up the list for how to determine the bit version of your OS or JAVA." part, is there something I might have forgotten?

Thank you for your time!

and yes, I am also banging my head over this situation..

Okay, there's two things that need to happen here. The first is that your friend needs to stop having you submit his bug reports. That never ends well.

The second is that we need to know what OS he has and what version of Java he actually has

Windows 7 64 bit, I'll get in contact with him - and he is just kinda bad at posting on forums, so I am more or less trying to get him through this.

I'll get specific Java details asap.

Cheers.

As long as he reads the stickies and the rules, he'll be fine.

Did you or he miss the part in the common problems thread about antivirus? I've never even heard of that kaspersky or whatever, but I bet turning it off or uninstalling it and getting a better AV (MSE or Avast) would do the trick. This smells of classic overprotective AV blocking the launcher from running or downloading.

Hmm, I did see the list of Antivirus problems - and I didn't find Kaspersky among them, however I will try get it turned off when he gets back online.

Cheers!

if no one replied to your post it's either because you did not give enough info (like you just did here), or simply because no one knows. usually, it's the former more than the latter. however, trying to hijack a thread on a completely different issue doesn't help.
