Hello there - need some help with starting up Minecraft. Apparently when I open the minecraft.exe (even as administrator) nothing happens. The loading mouse icon appears for a brief second then disappears. I tried using theFriedZombie's advanced minecraft error test and it opened minecraft fine without any problems. This is the error report:

One thing I did notice is that it says I'm using Java 32-bit. I checked my java folder and the jre7x32 is empty, so I'm not sure why the error test is using 32-bit. Anyway I'm using an unmodified version of minecraft and any help would be appreciated
That may be a good thing you're using Java 32bit, because it says your OS is:
Windows 7 Home Premium, , 32bits
However this part concerns me:
WARNING: Found unknown Windows version: Windows 7

I've never seen that before in an error test report. Not sure what to make of it. Are you indeed running Win7 Home 32bit or what?
All that aside, there have been a rash of people here lately who have trouble launching Minecraft, yet other methods of launching (including the test script) do sucessfully launch it. Since this was the case for you and because I'm not aware of a way to make the default launcher work, I'm going to suggest you try the 3rd party launcher MultiMC and see if that is able to launch the game for you as a workaround.
Hmm... I looked in system information to confirm and yes I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium, but my system type is x64-based PC. Maybe I just need to re-install java 64-bit, or un-install 32-bit. The reason I have 32-bit java is because of chrome and I've had trouble with this 32/64-bit nonsense before.
Well I tried MultiMC, created a new instance and ran it, but got this error:

Minecraft has crashed!
I've also tried running the Feed the Beast modpack (which is what I was trying to do in the first place) and the same thing happens as when I open minecraft.exe.
Anyway thanks for the quick reply
EDIT: Okay so when I said I tried running the FTB Modpack I was using the FTB_Launcher.exe. I instead downloaded the .jar version and now minecraft is running fine with all the mods installed. I'm guessing vanilla minecraft would work if I downloaded the .jar, but I'm content with FTB for now. I guess my problem is solved.

I tried it with terrible results. I gave my wife my glasses for a second, a creeper showed up and now my wife is pregnant.
Stupid 3D..
