MainFrame Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 First of all, I want to excuse myself if this is the wrong section , just move the thread. Now, here is my problem. I just bought a new HP pavilion g series laptop , set up and everything , but it won't open .jar files. I downloaded the newest Java version , still nothing. Tried to open it with all different kinds of java related .exe things , tried it with stuff like javaw.exe ,javaws.exe and so on. Still nothing, nothing happens. Nothing at all. So , here I am asking someone for help. I really love the technic pack and I would love to play it on my new laptop. This really is not a problem with the launcher, but with my computer , so don't think I'm bitching about the launcher. Edit: Nearly forgot this: Java Version : Java 7 update 4 ,64 bit. Running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 hoho Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Is there a good reason you are using the .jar directly instead of the .exe? In case you are running some other app than than the launcher try running them on command line to see if it actually works. Also, you should be using just the plain-old java.exe, not the other java*.exe's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried using every single java*.exe , including the java.exe and nothing worked. I have no idea why this is nor do I know how to fix it. If someone had the same problem and knws how to fix it, please tell me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 hoho Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 When using the techniclauncher.exe nothing happens. The "downloading launcher" windows pops up and that's it. Does it generate any log files anywhere? Have you tried running it (both launcer exe and .jar) from command line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 MainFrame Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 Does it generate any log files anywhere? Have you tried running it (both launcer exe and .jar) from command line? It does not create any logs and I have tried running both from command line. Even set up a batch file and some shortcuts to associate the .jar with java, but nothing works. Nothing happens, literally nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 freakachu Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 hold up, absolutely no messages appear when you run it from the command line? literally not a single error, line of text, or anything? really? I'm not talking about just what you might think is important, I mean anything at all whatsoever. no matter how meaningless it may seem. java.exe is the one you want to use, btw. when you go to run the .jar from the command line, what are you putting in?

0 freakachu Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 http://pastebin.com/nih34utY get your firewall/anti-virus to stop screwing with the launcher to start. next, make sure the launcher can write to its own folder. again, if you've got over-protective AV software, this can happen.

0 MainFrame Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 I guess I must've done it wrong. java -jar technic-launcher.jar Now, could someone help me how to run it properly from the command line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 freakachu Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 that's generally how you would do it. what exactly happens when you try to run that command? please don't say "nothing" because SOMETHING has got to get printed to the console Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what this means. I'm not a complete beginner, but I've never seen this kind of thing happen. Guess I'll just wipe my laptop ( it's 3 days old, doesn't really matter) and get rid of all this hp user kit suite deluxe beginner guide help crap. Heard about some other HP users that got the same issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 freakachu Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 before you blow your computer away and reimage or whatever, hold up a second. you're just putting that into the start -> run box, aren't you? if you want it to not close instantly, open up cmd.exe, navigate to %appdata%\.techniclauncher and run that command again in the command window, not from the run box. it won't go away. let me know what you get edit: I'll even give you the commands to get there: cd %appdata%\.techniclauncher java -jar technic-launcher.jar give it a shot.

0 MainFrame Posted May 9, 2012 Author Share Posted May 9, 2012 well, using your command it works . Is there any way to permanently fix the problem or will I have to start the launcher this way every time I want to play? Anyhow, thank you so much for this.

0 freakachu Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 you can easily make a batch file that you can run from anywhere. alternatively you can just use the full path in the argument to java. either way, the line you'll need will be this: java -jar %appdata%\.techniclauncher\technic-launcher.jar put that in a .bat file for the batch file route, which will give a handy icon you can just use to start the launcher from anywhere or put it right into the run box and it'll work too.

0 hoho Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 If you are writing that code in a .bat file then you can also just write "pause" without quotes to last line to keep the terminal open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Question
MainFrame
First of all, I want to excuse myself if this is the wrong section , just move the thread.
Now, here is my problem.
I just bought a new HP pavilion g series laptop , set up and everything , but it won't open .jar files.
I downloaded the newest Java version , still nothing.
Tried to open it with all different kinds of java related .exe things , tried it with stuff like javaw.exe ,javaws.exe and so on.
Still nothing, nothing happens.
Nothing at all.
So , here I am asking someone for help.
I really love the technic pack and I would love to play it on my new laptop.
This really is not a problem with the launcher, but with my computer , so don't think I'm bitching about the launcher.
Edit: Nearly forgot this:
Java Version : Java 7 update 4 ,64 bit.
Running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
