There's something wrong with my minecraft launcher. I click "Play" and the blue loading bar fills up. Then the loading bar disappears and the launcher just sits there. My two siblings and I have three separate accounts on one computer, my brother's user works fine but this problem with the launcher has been happening to my sister and I for the past two days. I have tried everything under the sun to fix it, I've uninstalled and then re-installed the game 4 times, I've deleted the core file twice, erased the game COMPLETELY from the whole computer, I've forced updated 3 times, I've restarted my computer, and NOTHING has worked. I've found other people on forums who have had the same problem in the past (but none recently), and I've tried all the advice they've given and nothing as worked. I am EXTREMELY frustrated and don't know what to do.
Has anyone had this problem recently, and if so, what did you do to fix it. Please help me, I just got my first administrative job on a server and am in danger of losing it because I can't play.
If you can copy paste your launcher log output, we could get a better understanding on what is happening to your game there, and possibly provide you with a solution to it.

You may be expiriencing issues with administrator priviledges, software (game or launcher) is trying to run a proccess from location that it is denied priviledges. You may want to start it running it "as administrator", if you right-click on your launcher it will offer a context menu and from it you may choose option "Run as Administrator".

In the launcher there are tabs
Update notes, launcher log, Profile editor etc.

It still doesn't work.
You could try relocating the minecraft directory

I fixed it guys. The Java path was incorrect. Thank you for all your suggestions, I was losing my mind!
