Operating System, bit type: Windows 8, 64 bit
Java version/update, bit type: Version 7, Update 51, 64 bit
Launcher version: v1.3.4
Completed the troubleshooting guide (y/n): y
Console log, pastebin.com link: http://pastebin.com/Rdqtgicq
Description of the problem: I downloaded the launcher, and tried to install the Monster pack. As soon as I click the Launch button, though, the Donate, Edit, username, and Launch buttons grey out, and nothing further happens. There's a lot of exception messages in the log, but they mean little to me.
 
Two things I see in your log.

1. Java is out of date. Remove any old versions then reboot. Now install the latest x64 from here and reboot again.
2. You have the launcher installed in programs folder. Never install it to there.

Now delete everything ftb including the ftb launcher folder from roaming. Now create a folder on your desktop called FTB and download the exe from the website and place it into that folder and try again.

If you still have issues then post a fresh log.
 
1. I thought I already did install the most recent version of Java. I'll try that link though.
2. Nope, definitely running the launcher from a folder called FTB on the desktop. Can't find anything in program files at all.
 
Ah. Apparently the problem was that it was using the old config file from my old instalation of FTB. I uninstalled it a while back, but obviously didn't get the ftblauncher folder in Roaming. So it was trying to use the config file from that and not finding anything where it expected, because I'd uninstalled that lot.
 
The lines below are from your log.

[17:10:13] [INFO] LaunchFrame.main:199: Launcher Install Dir: C:\Program Files (x86)
:\Program Files (x86)\FTBLauncherLog.txt (Access is denied): java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Program Files (x86)\FTBLauncherLog.txt (Access is denied)

So you had something in there regarding ftb.
 
The old installation was in Program Files, so as I didn't get the ftblauncher folder in Roaming, it was still looking there - and not finding anything.
