i am running windows 7, so yeah i don't get why the EXE didn't work. it should have. but whatever, i'm just happy that this one works. learned how to install mods for 1.6 too. they sure changed a bunch of stuff eh? but i think it's all pretty cool. especially the part where you can run on any version. anyways, thanks a lot for your help. and thanks for having this launcher. without it i would probably be stuck playing the old 1.5.2 and the old mods lol cheers man!
