Minecraft Forums

A few weeks ago this message started to appear whenever I would open the launcher, It opens up and then it just says Java(TM) Platform SE binary has stopped working before it can fully open, I have tried everything to fix it and have spent a long time looking for a solution, but nothing seems to work, the only way I can play is if I use a 32 bit version of Java 7 Update 55. I have tried installing Java 6, 7 and 8 and none of them work, I have deleted minecraft.exe and the .minecraft folder all together and freshly installed everything, but nothing works. FTB and Tekit work just fine, but not minecraft. The only solutions I have found are just to re install Java, but that doesn't work, and I would rather play on a 64 bit of Java. So any solutions are appreciated, thanks

Please can you tell me what to do next

If FTB launcher or Technic Launcher and modpacks are working fine, there is something conflicting with the normal official launcher.

All looks fine by what I saw in DXDiag.

Does the launcher open or only when launching game?

I'm not 100% sure what you mean, but it crashes on statup of the Launcher, it loads up all of the 'code stuff' :') on the white screen and then the message comes up.

Screenshot or copy and paste the message. Otherwise I know not what is going on.

This is the text when the launcher is opened...

Java(TM) Platform SE Binary has stopped working

Not really a lot to go on there to help with.

Is that all you get from that? For at current stance, from my physical limits, I cannot say what is going on.

Uninstalling and reinstalling java is the most ideal way for starts.

I have uninstalled Java SO MANY TIMES :'D
Well thanks anyway
I can live with it, I just have to keep switching between 32bit and 64bit Java.

Are you sure there is nothing that you can do? I assume it is something to do with minecraft, but I don't know. I would really like 64bit Java as it really helps.

Sadly not, I know nothing else to say or try. It is down to OS or Driver level at this point, but drivers all seem fine version wise.

You could open up command prompt in Admin mode (right click it in Start Menu > Run As Administrator) and type in the command SFC /SCANNOW.

Thanks SeaWry, I tried this and it did do anything apart from tell me that there were no problems

Hello, I've been having the exact same problem for quite a while and it gave me a lot of headache. Finally, I got an idea to clear java RE entries from registry and found this script (on stackoverflow). Ran it and now the launcher works again. Just copy it to notepad and save it as a .bat file. Uninstall java, run the file it and install again. Here is the script: reg query hklm\software\classes\installer\products /f "java(tm) 7" /s | find "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" > deljava.txt for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%a in (deljava.txt) do reg delete %%a /f del deljava.txt reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment" /f reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\wow6432node\JavaSoft\Java Runtime Environment" /f

Sorry to say, but neither of these fixes seem to work
Im guessing that it is just some conflict on my end.

never ending trouble with no solution. we should b contacting java and not minecraft

I Downloaded this mod and now i cant delete it and it says something about because it is in Java(TM) Platform SE binary;what do i do?

A lot later in time I have realised that it was actually a 3rd party software that was conflicting. I have disabled that and I am able to use Minecraft normally.

If you were wondering how I diagnosed the problem, I did it by disabling each process in my task Manager one by one untiI found the program that was conflicting and then I disabled it.
