Windows .exe Launcher Windows 8 Bug

[ObsidiCreeper]

First of all, I would like to let everyone know that I don't think Launcher bugs go in Modpack Support, so I posted it here.
My friend cannot launch Feed the Beast, the launcher opens alright, but when he tries to launch, nothing happens. He runs Windows 8, and the Newest 64 bit Java.
The console message is this:
AnalyticsBackgroundThread started FTBLaunch starting up (version 1.2.2) connect: Address is invalid on local machine, or port is not valid on remote machine: java.net.ConnectException: connect: Address is invalid on local machine, or port is not valid on remote machine Java version: 1.7.0_10 Java vendor: Oracle Corporation Java home: C:\Program Files\Java\jre7 Java specification: Java Virtual Machine Specification version: 1.7 by Oracle Corporation Java vm: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM version: 23.6-b04 by Oracle Corporation OS: amd64 Windows 7 6.1 Error making tracking request: java.net.ConnectException: connect: Address is invalid on local machine, or port is not valid on remote machine [i18n] Checking for updates ...

Firstly, next time use pastebin PLEASE, makes it much easier to read. Secondly, I think (not 100% sure) that it can't connect to the download mirror to download the modpack/minecraft.jar. Make sure you are connected to the internet. You may have to disable your firewall or even antivirus so it works. Disable, download, then enable ASAP so you don't get any unwanted things/so you don't forget that it's disabled.

If those don't help, please post your entire client side console log on pastebin.com and link your paste URL here. This is the other window that is opened by the FTB launcher. Please post any and all other logs you can provide to pastebin.com and link those as well. Logs are much easier to read when uploaded to pastebin. To prevent future issues, such as pastebin flagging your log as spam and deleting it, it is simplest to create an account on pastebin.com and use that account to upload your logs.
