I have installed both java 32 bit and 64 but minecraft won't launch for some reason
I ran advanced minecraft error test this is what it said http://pastebin.com/22rxVW79

Hello, Breezyzona!

Can you try running the game and screenshotting the error occuring? I may be able to help out with the situation. Thanks!

He said that Minecraft closes instantly, I assumed he meant the launcher. But if that is not the case and launcher works, yes he can do it that way.

That test is obsolete. Please provide the development console log of the official launcher.

How can i do this?

I see, the launcher will not show up. This is usually caused by a corrupt installation of Java. Please remove all mentions of Java from the machine via the control panel. Reboot, then grab the latest here

Please get the 64-bit version if you have a 64-bit machine.

I uninstalled and reinstalled java and this time a window came up once that said there was an error starting up and is going back to the same thing as before where the launcher will not show up

Try this, right click your Minecraft icon, click properties, tell tell me where the file location is at, if any. You may have your icon linked to the wrong application and may need to relink it.

Error starting up. What is stating that? What does it say exactly? Vague descriptions.

Well, i can't check again because it's not coming up again but it came up the first time i tried running it after i reinstalled java

Well. delete your .minecraft. And try to run the launcher. I had a similar problem and the way I fixed was by uninstalling Java7 and installing java 6. But a fresh install is the standard fix

It only showed up once when I first clicked it after reinstalling java but it didn't come up again after

I have a problem locating the .minecraft since the appdata feature is a bit different on windoms 8 then windows 7

I managed to get it to pop up again http://gyazo.com/781c4ae942791c8e0b787116e3a09549

To open appdata on Win 8 do the following:

Open Libraries (folder icon on your taskbar)

Now, once you've done this, there is a bar telling you the location of the files you are viewing right now. In this case, it should have a folder icon beside the word "Libraries", then an arrow.

Now type "%appdata%" on the address bar and press enter.
Double click the blank space on the address bar and delete "Libraries"

Are you an admin on your PC? If not, that is the problem. Try right clicking Minecraft, and then clicking "Run as Administrator".
