@pand1024 Are you having issues downloading? What are you using to download the installer? What is your OS? What is your browser?
If the file is downloading properly, but won't install. Have you tried re downloading the installer? Have you tried the legacy launcher?
https://minecraft.net/en-us/download/alternativePosting what steps you take to get the bug, any error messages you get, and optionally screenshots will help us help you.
I'm using windows 10
I've successfully been able to download the runtime folder and tmp folder for Minecraft but the launcher still won't download/update..
I can't even use java because the edge browser doesn't even support plugins...
Im not getting any error messages, just the "unable to download the native launcher" message pops up in a small window. Sometimes the installation restarts mid way through
ok bro ill try to help standby
ok give me a short update what you have done so far.
usually i can just select uninstall programs in control panel then uninstall minecraft completely. i then restart computer. next i do a file search for minecraft. if i find any files i delete them, i restart again and repeat until they are all gone. don't forget to empty your recycle bin. also i run ccleaner to make sure all my temp files are deleted along with any cookies or malware. it is a free program i have used for years. once i have done all that i go to mojang and download a fresh copy of minecraft. fyi file extensions in your browser can interfere. sometimes you can just use internet explorer to get the download then go back to the regular browser you use.
before you do all this restart delete stuff if you dont have ccleaner get it and run it then restart your computer, try running minecraft and right down exactly what the fault message says. i think you are having old mnecraft files interfering with the restart. also check your download folder for multiple copy's you can delete. i hope this helps, ive been then when i updated to windows 10 and it took forever to get it right
Thanks, this is really irritating especially since i've put so much time and effort into this game. I can't use java because edge browser doesn't support plugins and I can't download another program for some reason. Whenever I try to the installation just stops midway through
I'm 95% positive i've deleted all of my anti-viruses and disabled my firewall. I've spent the past week+weekend trying to figure this out and no avail.
Alright i'll download ccleaner, but I doubt it will work (but I do have some hope)
here watch this
I already watched this yesterday :P
If i had to make a guess i would say you have multiple copies interfering or your browser is blocking a full download.
Can the Minecraft.installer setup interfere with the download?
i would run ccleaner, then do a full uninstall of all minecraft, then download a fresh copy from mojang and go from there. it feels like you got multiple folder or download copies interfering. some are in temp folders, some in program folders some in recycle bin some in downloads, and when it tries to start it selects the wrong version and has a conflict.if i was there i could look, fro here i am just guessing based on whats has happened to me in the past. i was using firefox browser and it caused all kinds of issues. so i cleared everyting out, used internet explorer for download and finally got it to work
Ok. I'll check to make sure there aren't any tmp files or duplicates. I'm still waiting for the ccleanersetup to install, my download speed sucks
I feel your pain, its like all you want to do is play, you try everything and still nothing. everybody has advice your hope goes up and then more frustration. I will try to stay online as long as I can and try to walk you thru this step by step until we can get you playing again :)
Yea it's very frustrating. Thanks for sticking around :)
The top green bar during the ccleaner installation process/setup has been in the same spot for the last 5 minutes..
which
browser did you use? chrome, explorer? firefox?
i use this link

I'm using the default web browser for windows 10, windows edge
god i hate that fucking edge. use internet explorer or google chrome, edge and contana love to decide what you need behind closed doors, screw that, download chrome browser or standard internet explorer and lets get you playing, man i hate that, i had to turn mine off....
Dude, use Google Chrome
Sad part is I tried installing google chrome BUT THAT WON'T INSTALL EITHER
Firefox is still installing, maybe that will work, but I have huge doubts
@ExoticButterz_ I'm using the default web browser for windows 10, windows edge
i think we have identified your problem, lol
ok look in your computer i beleive windows 1o came with a copy of internet explorer if not download it first, then we get ccleaner, then we get minecraft then we use it to get google chrome and we take control the computer back to you
Woops nvm, I found it. This browser opens up alot more possibilities for me :)
ok ccleaner first,
This browser is way faster than edge :o
Alright lol
once your back playing ill show you how to tun alot of windows 10 bullshit features and controls off so you run your computer and you decide what happens instead of microsoft
Lol ok, that edge browser sucked. I wish Microsoft would make good decisions every once and while with their pc's..
bill gates is a globalist and thinks governments and companies know more than you so they should be in control of all aspects of your life and computer. screw that
XD yeah. I bought my pc, I should be able to control it
odds are you will have frames per second issues because of widows ten FPS but luckily optifine will be a easy fix for that
I've always get 60fps or less w/o optifine and 100+ with it :P
having any luck on the ccleaner download and install?
How do I close the ccleaner setup window?
usually there is area to read notes or something like that or an x in the corner, worse case scenario restart computer
There's no x..
try restarting computer
