Thanks! I still can't see the links on the first page, but I can see perfectly the ones you reposted.

Tanh you for all your effort on doing the Launcher and the server!

Hi, I'm having a problem with the launcher - 0.98 works ok, but 1.35 and 1.38 both crash on launch with this message (Win7 64bit):

my friend has the same problem & win 8 on my laptop won't run the launcher either.

Any ideas?

get 1.38 portable zip

MinecraftLauncher_v1.38.zipKraftzone.net (Retired site)

http://kraftzone.net/downloads/MinecraftLauncher_v1.38.zip

  ..extract all files to an empty folder (name it whatever and put it wherever suits you)   ...then run the "Minecraft Launcer.exe" from that folder.


If you still get an error let me know again, also try get the full error message.

[kraftie]

Yes, that's exactly what I did. I even tried the installer and then the two older versions. I tried again, it crashes immediately with this message (the text is the same as last time)

Running as Admin user?

Do you see any error messages in the Event Log Viewer (goto eventviewer or [winkey]+[r]  and type in "eventvwr" and enter, it will run it... then check "Windows Logs\Application"  that correlate to this error?  ie run the launcher while you have that eventlog open should see an error log.. might be more useful information to see on why this isn't working.

Also any performance tuning apps(they tend to disable some window services)?
Antivirus (generally useless, get a firewall instead)
any window services that have been disabled? like diagnostics?

I have a feeling I know what might be causing it, as someone else had similar problem and it turned out it was because he had another issue on his win8 computer that he needed to fix, (it was because performance counters were not working) You can test that to see if you get any errors try [winkey]+[r]  and type in "perfmon".

I'll try come up with another launcher version that doesn't use that windows feature, its only needed for the java memory settings (something I added after 0.98)

[Koolio]

try this version: http://kraftzone.net/downloads/MinecraftLauncher_v1.39.zip

[kraftie]

same error 

the following are answers to your previous post, but the error seems to be exactly the same with the new version as well:

Yes, admin user. "Run as administrator" also makes no change.
I'm only running comodo firewall, but closing the app makes no difference.
Not sure what to look for in performace monitor - it shows a graph of cpu usage, I can run system performance / system diagnostics, etc.

[Koolio]

hmm well I have no idea then.. you could try the previus launcher versions to see where it stopped working... http://kraftzone.net/downloads/

the portable zip files are all there, just extract and run until u find the last version that did work

[kraftie]

1.30 is the first one that crashes

[Koolio]

I'll see what changed (actually lot changed but might be the error logging stuff)

you use English localization right? not like any other language in windows?

[kraftie]

hehehe, consider the problem identified My programmer friend was right all along when he told me this kind of error usually has to do with using a decimal point vs decimal "comma", or something else from the realm of localization. My windows (as well as all the other I tested the launcher in) are in czech. Changing the date format to english works around the problem.

[Koolio]

"My windows (as well as all the other I tested the launcher in) are in czech. Changing the date format to english works around the problem."

Thanks pretty damn hard to find out what that error was from, still no idea how I can handle it myside (I guess it was from the error logging stuff that came in 1.30 and after, as it does add a date/timestamp), other than to tell people to use English localization for date formatting.

I'm back with more annoying questions for you...

is there a way to add plugins to 1.36(like bukkit and autocraft)?

[Koolio]

bukkit isn't a plugin, though there is a little unknown secret to help.. if you drag and drop a .jar file onto the main launcher window.. it will create a .bat file (with the same file name as the dropped jar file) in its installed directory.. if you run the .bat file it will use whichever java version u have selected in the 'Java Settings' to launch the dropped .jar file (something I made because I mainly use java portable).. you can even edit this bat file yourself to make other changes.



autocraft.. dunno what kind of mod that is.. if you are wanting to install mods forge/litemods, they all just go in the 'mods' folder of whatever modpack you installed (every modpack makes its own folder in the main launcher directory to avoid clutter, in there you will find the 'mods folders... I have made 2 modpacks that include forge and litemod, 1.7.2 and 1.7.10    ie if you downloaded 1.7.10-LiteLoader from the modpacks, it would have a folder with a mods folder inside where most client mods can be installed ie "1.7.10-LiteLoader\mods"

if you want to go install all mods yourself including modloaders like forge/litemod etc then you are on your own. It is still possible with my launcher, just helps if you install the kzsetup as it puts the launcher in the .minecraft folder.. which is where modloader installers like forge/litemod generally look first to to install there stuff because that is where the official launcher goes.

If bukkit is not a plugin, then what is it?
