    • I am operating Windows 10.  Java runtime is 1.8.0_51.  Launcher version is 2.1.1216, and was just updated 2 days ago.
    • Unconfirmed

      When launching minecraft, I get an "Unable to locate the Java runtime" error.  When I click "Show more details", I get the the attached dialog box.  The direction of the slashes in the dialog box concerns me, but the fact that it is looking in 1.8.0_25 for the runtime is weird.  I have deleted my runtime folder, and Minecraft downloaded the runtime again, and again it downloaded and installed 1.8.0_51.  So, I think that either it is downloading the incorrect runtime, or the launcher is not changing to the _51 runtime.

      This started happening with the Launcher 2.1.1216 when it updated 2 days ago.

      Please help.
