Hello, I haven't played Minecraft in over 2 months because I get the following message every time I try to run the game:
"The registry refers to a nonexistent Java runtime environment installation or the runtime is corrupted. The system cannot find the path specified".
Before I last successfully opened the game, Java was having huge issues for me. I uninstalled it, but it was uninstalled incorrectly and it was a nightmare to fix and reinstall correctly. However, Minecraft was in the uninstalled version, and for whatever reason I can't play it anymore. If I try downloading the game from the website, I get the same message. Minecraft.exe doesn't exist on my computer, I can't find it in any folders. I have literally no idea what to do. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm open to trying anything.
When you uninstall Java, it has no relation to Minecraft at all when I comes to the files associated with it. Java is only needed to run the application.
Yeah, I reinstalled Java. Then I tried downloading Minecraft.exe from the Minecraft website, and I get the same error message again. For some reason it seems that the old, corrupted files never left my computer, but when I try to access them, there's no way to manage or delete them.

Retired StaffPlease once again uninstall Java, reboot the machine and grab the latest here,

The new launcher also allows you to point the client to a valid java installation.
