So, this has happened before, but I guess I fixed it. But I don't think this is a proper solution.
What is basically happened is that when I click "Play", on the Minecraft Launcher, it loads up (the little blue bar) and then the launcher disappears, as usual, but then a Error window shows up (screenshot of it will be attached).
What causes this is me not having the Java 7 Update 51 installed. Because every time I uninstall it and then try to play minecraft, that error pops up. So I basically have to have 2 different versions of Java installed: the Update 51 and then the latest update (right now, Update 65). And I don't think this is supposed to happen or am I really supposed to have the 2 Java updates installed?
The primary cause of this error is usually having configured extra java heap and not having 64bit Java installed.
Note that 64bit Java does not auto update, and the 32bit Java updater will suggest uninstalling any existing 64bit Java install as "old", so if you let the auto updater do what it wants to do you will end up with an up to date 32bit Java and NO 64bit Java.
A solution for this would be to manually fetch the latest 64bit Java and manually install it when there is a Java update.
