Are you downloading the .msi installer or .exe?

Are you downloading the .msi installer or .exe?

I tried both, and its not launching.[DOUBLEPOST=1492311771][/DOUBLEPOST]

Download the Linux version of minecraft and try that. Its just a .jar

Why would i download linux? i have Windows..

I had an error then downloaded linux version and fixed my problem.

I'll try doing the linux one but i doubt it will work its just the old launcher converted to Linux platform.

It won't launch at all.

Hey there This might sound silly but I had the same issue. Firstly, uninstall all minecraft launchers you've previously had. You are most likely getting these errors because it is only overwriting partial parts of the new launcher. So as I said, delete all previous versions of minecraft and erase them for good. Secondly, visit https://minecraft.net/en-us/download/alternative, and download the one that suits you. I really hope this helps! And if it works, keep your cash! Im here to help!

My pc was recently restarted to company product, means everything was cleaned, I tried installing minecraft thru the msi launcher for the first time and didn't let me download or launcg it.

What version of Minecraft are you trying to launch?

I tried installing 1.8.8 or the newest version.

MASk0 Try using this java? http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-se-jre-7-download-432155.html

I have java 8, i have seen ppl with java 8 and runs minecraft correctly i dont think java is the problem, and if i got it right the newest launcher doesnt require the need to install java before using minecraft anymore .-.[DOUBLEPOST=1492312378][/DOUBLEPOST]

That is JRE not normal Java

Do i download Java SE Development Kit 8u121?

 

[MASk0]

Got to C:\Program Files(x86)\Minecraft Delete that and delete your .minecraft then use the .jar to play?

The new launcher makes /Minecraft in program files the old one doesn't, which in this case i already tried most commong things you can think of
1. Already tried deleting both minecraft launcher, .minecraft, installing the new launcher, the old launcher removing everything related to minecraft etc.
