Hello. I am attempting to download and run the new Minecraft launcher. I tried for a while on my own to get the new launcher to run, and having failed I deleted my .minecraft folder under %appdata% (I am running Windows 7 by the way). I believe this means I have a clean slate to begin. Therefore when downloading the new launcher and attempting to run I receive the following error dialog:

System.getProperty('os.name') == 'Windows 7'
System.getProperty('os.version') == '6.1'
System.getProperty('os.arch') == 'x86'
System.getProperty('java.version') == '1.7.0_51'
System.getProperty('java.vendor') == 'Oracle Corporation'
System.getProperty('sun.arch.data.model') == '32'
Java seems to have issues accessing the .minecraft folder. Instead of deleting the folder, please rename the folder to something like .minecraftold, and try again. You may want to run the launcher as an administrator just to make sure.
