Ok
Wtf it downloaded in 2 seconds with internet explorer
So after i've scanned everything and deleted all of the Minecraft files, do I reinstall?
Now what do I do now? XD
sorry was online playing, you scanned with ccleaner and deleted all files great, restart computer, use internet explorer and download and intall new copy of minecraft from mojang.
Ok, i'll try that when I get home
Ok I'm home and i'm restarting my pc
Do I download Minecraft from the .net website or from the Mojang website?
I tried downloading it through internet explorer, on both Minecraft.net and Mojang. Still didn't work T_T
it wont download? it downloads but wont install? more info please
The native launcher doesn't download when I start up minecraft
ok so you were able to download minecraft installer to your download folder. you were able to instal it?
are you getting any messages and when do you get them?
Yes but when I click the shortcut the launcher itself it starts to install/update. At about 2.00mb it restarts with a message in a small window saying "unable to update native launcher."
ok go to the download folder and find the copy of minecraft you down loaded.
do you see a file marked Minecraftinstaller.msi ? if so double click it and see if it installs
I deleted all the Minecraft files :P i'll re-download and see if the msi file appears
is there any minecraft folder in downloads? it may not be unpacked yet
I'll reinstall minecraft and see..
When I download Minecraft from Minecraft.net (windows version) no files appear in downloads. The only thing that appears is the Minecraft shortcut on my desktop
ok lets go step by step.
go to here
click login, you do have a login and you did purchase your copy from mojang correct?
click download on upper left corner of page
click show all options
click downloads for windows
did a download window open saying it windows installer and list the file name Minecraftinstaller.msi as the file destination?
yes I purchased from Mojang
@ExoticButterz_ yes I purchased from Mojang
i ask because there were some purchased from microsoft and a gaming site that act different,. but a direct mojang one is the best, great, did you do the step by step, what did you get when you tried to download? did the window open showing destination??
Yeah the window opened up
verify where its downloading it to after the download go back to that folder and click on it not the shortcut on the desktop, that might be a remnant of the old copy
there's a launcher and a native log
lol so I click on the launcher in the folder?
hopefully you have one that says this Minecraftinstaller.msi , what do the folders say you have?
No, sadly. In the folder there's only a file named "MinecraftLauncher" and "nativelog", that's it
select launcher
When I did a small window appeared saying "Downloading native launcher" and then a couple seconds later it says "Unable to update native launcher" in a separate small window
It restarted again after I opened it a second time D:
I am so confused, when i click download it reads file name Minecraftinstaller.msi and save as type windows installer package. I have no idea why its downloading different for you with 2 folders
I guess i'm just unlucky ;-;
I mourn for the day to play Minecraft again
so it started the install or restarted your computer?
It restarts the install every single time
its gotta be a duplicate or partial file left somewhere, i might be able to walk you thru it via phone , i have windows 10 and we could go click by click to try and figure this out, i sent a private message
Before that why don't you try a custom launcher.

They may not conflict with whatever is causing the issue.
