I have had Minecraft since early 2012, so I'm pretty familiar with the ins and out of the game. Just recently I tried running Minecraft, and it gave me an error message regarded my .minecraft file. (It is not modded.) So I decided to re-download the game completely. I deleted the .minecraft files, then deleted the .exe launcher. I went to the website, then downloaded the .exe file again. When I tried to run it, nothing happened. The launcher did not appear. I typed %appdata% but there was not a .minecraft folder there.
So, it doesnt even appear? Could you provide you're dxdiag log?

I figured out a way to get my .minecraft folder back. This was by running the demo in my browser, so it redownloaded the files. Now when I open the Minecraft launcher, it gives me this message.

Yes, it needs admin privileges to be able to reverse the LZMA.
