Whats this error mean?

[Defiancey]

Im trying to help a buddy get on and play on my server but it keeps giving him some error. I had him uninstall java and reinstall it. He deleted his ftb launcher from appdata and such. I know this isnt the proper way about going about errors. But im just curious if someone knows off hand what it specifically means.

He is trying to install the mod packs and launcher into the Program Files folder. Windows will not allow him to. Have him move the 'Minecraft FTB' folder to his desktop and change the 'Install folder...' to that path in the Options tab. So if he was named user on the computer it would be this in the 'Install folder...' C:\users\user\Desktop\Minecraft FTB\

I feel you're being a bit sexist, assuming Java's gender.

Sorry for being unproductive.

What are you talking about? Check the first post again. I did not assume the friends gender. Edit: I also made no reference to the gender of the programming language or of the OS.

Thought you were referring to java as "him", not the friend; like saying java is trying to install the mod packs and windows isn't letting java. I was just joking around

Its not that I do not have a sense of humor. I just find those posts, edit: joke posts, out of place in a help thread. If we were in say the OT or General Discussion forum I would have got the joke.

Sorry about that, I felt that it would be ok though since the problem was pretty simple, and I'm tired so my judgements off. It really wouldn't have been funny anyway.
