A video tutorial going through how to use it will be done later, though if anyone else wants to volunteer doing one that would be great aswel!! Tried to make the launcher as intuitive as possible, but open to suggestions.
Latest features:
1.40- Color icons, and more improvements.
It will auto download the base files required to run the modpack, the modpack only includes mods and additional library files that are required to run the mods, that is why you will still need to download all the base minecraft resources such as sounds mainly.

Download Links
(click the download link in the button, not the button :))
Install Setup:
http://kraftzone.net/downloads/KzSetup_1.40.exe
The above will offer to install to default location of %appdata%.minecraft and create shortcut icons in startmenu
---------or ----------
The below is do it yourself install (extract all .zip files into a new folder you created):
Portable Zip :
http://kraftzone.net/downloads/MinecraftLauncher_v1.40.zip
Run "Minecraft Launcher.exe" (this file can be renamed, it will still work)
Disclaimer: While its fully tested to work on my end, I can't fully test every computer scenario or possible bug, so if anything goes wrong let me know and I'll try to help fix it. Also this launcher only connects to Mojang for mc releases and resource files, and Kraftzone.net for modpacks, javaportable and launcher updates (and that's only if you hit the update button to check)
Instruction help
Once installed goto [Settings]>[Minecraft Releases] to get full minecraft releases.
Or use the [Mod/Addons] to get modpack releases.
Fill in "MC Username", select options, add a "Profile Name" then click [Add Profile], you then select name at the bottom of the screen and press [Launch]
Coming Next
-I do plan to make it easier to create you own modpacks, and upload them.
-An easier way of enabling/disabling mods directly in the launcher without having to get messy with moving/renaming files before launching.
-Always more bug fixes

As well as myn even though I don't need it
Is it normal that when i launch the launcher it says "Forge Mod Loader has found a problem with your minecraft installation. you have mod sources that are duplicated within your system
Mod Id : File name
mod_ReiMinimap : [1.6.2]ReiMinimap_v3.4_01.zip
mod_ReiMinimap : [1.6.2]ReiMinimap_v3.4_01.zip
no check mods folder and remove reisminimap that doesn't have that filename

i can only use it on 1.6.2.mcpatcher. I can't run it on 1.6.2.liteloader
in the mods forlder it has:
-1.6.2 (folder) -mod_cjb_moreinfo (compressed folder)
-cjb (folder) -mod_cjb_x_ray (compressed folder)
-reiminimap (folder) -mod_macros_0.9.10_beta1_mc1.6.2.lite...
-[1.6.2]ReiMinimap_v3.4_01.zip (compressed folder)
-CJB_MAIN (compressed folder)
-liteloader-1.6.2 (java)
-mod_cjb_cheats (compressed folder)
compressed folder?
they shoudn't be compressed folders... makes me think you are just using windows built in zip support (which basically just opens up a .zip file as if its folder when its not... this leads to problems)
Screenshot is sort of how your folder structure and files should look roughly...
use winrar etc and extract the http://kraftzone.tk/downloads/mc162portable.v0.68.zip into a new folder (or delete the existing one and extract into that)

windows 7
yeh was asking iceAOS.. but still really need more info to go on if you are needing help..
I assume that the download was extracted properly.. and into an empty folder...
until I look at having the launcher check its own files to make sure folder structure is correct.. and possibility of auto updating files to get itself working...
for some it works, others its not..
