So I've installed FTB Launcher and I'm trying to go on it however whenever I start it up it comes up with:

Java vm: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM version: 25.0-b36 by Oracle Corporation OS: amd64 Windows 7 6.1 [i18n] Checking for updates ... [i18n] enUS English language file loaded!

Unhandled exception in Thread[Thread-1,5,main]: java.lang.NullPointerException

and whenever I click on the 'Download Server' button it keeps on coming up with:

'Unhandled exception in Thread[AWT-EventQueue-0,6,main]: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException'

on the console.
Why does it come up with this and what do I have to do to get it to work? I have made it compatible with windows 7, changed the install folder to where the launcher is (A file on the desktop called FTB), updated Java to 7.25, firewall is off and no anti-virus programs are installed. My internet is working fine. I am using windows 8 so I unsure if making it compatible with windows 7 is right however there is no option for 8. What do I have to actually come up with some modpacks and have it running?

Okay my suggestion is to follow this guide exactly to install the launcher the recommended way. After that check just below the guide under the header 'Other USEFUL Information', pay particularly close attention to the AV and Windows 8 parts.

Then if you are still experiencing problems after all that please post a new console log to pastebin.com and link to it here.
