Hi,
I need to know if you can (and how) run normal minecraft on java 6 update 35 but run technic/tekkit and my tekkit server on Java 7 update 7. Is there a way to run this without uninstalling java 7 when i run minecraft and reinstalling it when i use tekkit/technic? I have a windows 7 32bit laptop. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

If you still have them installed (both javas).

You could do it like :

C:\program files\java\jre\java6\java.exe -jar minecraft.exe

That would run it with java6.

I tried putting your code into a batch file (which i put on my desktop) and in the "run" program and it doesn't work. I get a message like this:

[path to my desktop]C:\program files\java\jre\java6\java.exe -jar minecraft.exe
'C:\program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I then changed your code to the path to my java 6. It came up with a similar error

[path to my desktop]C:\Program files\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe -jar minecraft.exe
'C:\program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
