Not getting an exe to run

[Azzanadra]

Launcher/pack Version: 1.0.1.3

Operating System: Windows 7 x64

Version of Java: Java 1.6 64 bit

Description of Problem: no launcher EXE to run

Antivirus program: Norton (Disabled).

I can download and run the technic launcher just fine, but I'm forced to use the shitty onboard graphics card and not the good graphics card because the GPU can only recognize .exe files. on my old computer I remember there being a technic-launcher.exe but now I only have technic-launcher.jar, am I missing this somehow? Or does techniclauncher.exe simply not exist for 64 bit systems?

the exe is for x64 systems.

Well it is a good thing I'm running a 64 bit OS with 64 bit java then, isn't it?

so if you don't have an EXE, the obvious solution is to download it from http://www.technicpack.net

Except it installs with no .exe to run the launcher, only a .jar. If The launcher doesn't come with a .exe file thats fine I'm just wondering if it does or not.

There's no install. That same EXE you downloaded, is the thing you run every time.

It doesn't work, it goes the the downloading launcher window then closes. Doesn't matter, I fixed the graphics card issue anyway.

This would be a good time to read the stickies.
