To start things off I would like to say I am new to posting to forums so forgive me if I seem out of it.
The issue I have has been so frustrating for me and I have been working all day to fix it, unfortunately to no result.
Some background
I have Windows 7
64 bit OS
I updated java today to version 7, update 55
Since then I haven't been able to open Minecraft
I have uninstalled and re installed java multiple times. At first the launcher was opening and giving me this error:
FATAL ERROR: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class javax.crypto.JceSecurity
Then the launcher wouldn't even open and I would receive a message saying I needed runtime 1.6.0
Now I get a message saying that the system cannot find a specified path
I dont know anymore or have any more info, im sorry, but any help would be great, Thank you
You need to reinstall Java.
First, go to the Programs and Features in Control Panel. Uninstall everything that says Java in the name. Then, go to http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp to re-install Java.
I have tried this before, but I still tried to reinstall anyway. Unfortunately I now receive the message from a text box entitled Launch4j that says This application requires a Java Runtime Environment of 1.6.0
Am I doing something wrong here? Is my computer not recognizing Java? I would also like to point out that when I try to run a Java program through Chrome it says that I need to install Java. I am aware that Chrome doesn't run off of a 64 bit Java. Is this an issue? When I uninstalled Java I reinstalled with the 64x version of the link you provided.The installation went fine, no errors or anything. However I am still receiving the same error message as stated above.
I know for a fact that this problem started when I updated to the latest version of Java, so from what I know I don't think my computer isn't allowing it to run, however I cant be certain. Java is enabled on my browser, which is Chrome, but it isn't recognizing it. Is me using 64 bit Java a problem, and how might I check whether my computer did block Java, Any additional advice or insight is much appreciated.

Accept the licence agreement and get jre-8u5-windows-x64.exe from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html and install it.
