so minecraft was crashing a lot when i installed a client that was no longer supported. what it did was not only the client wouldn't work, all the other versions were broken as well. I uninstalled minecraft and then reinstalled as i thought the launcher broke when i installed the client. when i pressed play this error appeared:
Unable to locate the Java runtime. Error details: Incorrect function Filename on disk: javaw.exe Path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Minecraft\runtime\jre-x64\1.8.0_25\bin\javaw.exe Exists: false
However when i checked the listed directory javaw.exe was there but i think the issue at hand is this: the reason it wouldn't work is that during install it didn't give my account (in windows) permission to read, write and execute the program. If anyone could help me with this it would be a blessing.
With the launcher and anything Minecraft related closed out, delete the whole runtime folder from within C:\Program Files (x86)\Minecraft on your PC. Then restart the launcher and it should re-download it and work.
I have just remembered that i have a working version of Minecraft installed on one of my other hard drives. I'm sorry all the troubles I've caused you.

I have tried deleting it but, I dont have permission even though it says you need permission from PARASCYTHEPC\heero
which is my account.

Try restarting the PC and then deleting that folder before attempting anything else after the restart.
