Installation Issue

[Mr_Adam_Bomb]

Launcher/pack Version: Mac Version?

Operating System: Apple OSX 10.5.8

Version of Java: 1.5.0_30 from Apple Inc

Description of Problem: Program does not install successfully or does not run once installed.

Antivirus program: none

Error Messages: The actions "Run AppleScript" has encountered an error. Check the actions properties and try running the workflow again.

Link to pastebin of log: I don't think I have one because I cannot find a Technic folder in my library.

Walkthough of what I'm doing:

- Went to www.technicpack.net -> Technic Launcher

- Clicked on MAC VERSION (for Macs)

- .zip file pops up and I click open

- A loading window pops up for a split second and then disappears

- Finder opened up revealing Technic Launcher application icon in my downloads folder

- When I click it I get the usual "This is an application from the internet, are you sure?" question and I clicked open.

- Text box appears which says "A new client update as found! Update?". I think to myself, "why the heck not?" so I click update.

- Another text box tells me it has successfully updated.

- Then an error box appears: The actions "Run AppleScript" has encountered an error. Check the actions properties and try running the workflow again.

- My only option is an Okay button.

NOTES:

Yes, I have checked to see if I have an update for Java.

Yes, I did what (I think) I needed to do to reveal hidden folders in my library.

Yes, I have read through http://forums.technicpack.net/index.php/topic,4193.0.html and I did not find an answer but I did find someone who had the same problem and had been probated for posting in the wrong thread.

Yes, I did look up the word "probate" and then feel really stupid when I realized it means to put on probation. (it makes sense!)

Yes, I have tried searching on the forums but obviously I'm searching for the wrong things because I am not getting any helpful answers.

Yes, I am frustrated and willing to accept the fact that I'm probably making a stupid mistake and will most likely be ridiculed for it...

So... I'm stuck. Any help for me?

Unfortunately, your version of OSX is too old to run Java 6, which you need for the launcher. You're out of luck.

I was planning on updating sometime this summer. So, theoretically, if I update to 10.7 or whatever it is now I should be fine?

[Mr_Adam_Bomb]

I've been researching and my computer hardware is capable of 10.7 but it's going to cost me $30 to upgrade to 10.6 and another $30 to upgrade to the 10.7 version. So, my question is do I have to go all the way to 10.7 or would 10.6 be enough? Is anyone here currently running the Technic Launcher on OSX 10.6?

(Sorry for the double post but if anyone with an answer was looking around I wanted them to know I had a newish question...)

I am on 10.6.8 OS X, have Java SE 6, 64-bit and have the same exact problem. Will update if I find a solution. Based on what I've read in the forums, the Technic team doesn't seem to care too much, so we'll have to figure this out on our own.

I'm afraid I have bad news; I'm currently experiencing the same problem, but my OSX version is 10.7.4. This suggests that updating the OS does not solve the issue.

Even if you manage to convert TechnicLauncher to Java 5, there are mods that only support Java 6.

try googling a bit, here's a a couple of links I found:
