Though your registry entries may be damaged if the above doesn't work. First, please remove all traces of Java from the machine. You may also need to remove their registry entries. Note that this is extremely risky and any "whoopsies" here will result in computer failure, please be extremely careful and follow the instructions I give word by word.
Press Win + R to bring up the run menu, and key in regedit and press enter. On the left of the window you should see a few entries starting with "HKEY".
Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE then SOFTWARE then search for an entry for Javasoft. Right click on that and delete it. Now scroll down and search for WOW6432Node, expand it and search for Javasoft again and delete that entry as well.

I haven't played minecraft for a really long time and I'm getting back into it. I opened the launcher today and it said,
The registry refers to a nonexistent Java runtime environment installation or the runtime is corrupted.
The system cannot find the path specified."
I'm pretty sure it's corrupted, how do I fix it?
