When I click on the Minecraft launcher, it opens a window named "launch4j" with the text "This application requires a Java Runtime environment 1.5.0" in it. What's happening, why is it happening, and how can I fix it? |

@Andrea Jensen: What OS ? If Windows, uninstall everything named Java, then install the latest version (1.7.0_51): http://www.java.com/en/download/.

I have something similar on mine. I bought a new laptop. Went to minecraft.net. Signed in and clicked on Minecraft.exe. The window with "Launch4j" came up with the message, "This application requires a Java Runtime Environment 1.6.0". Went to the Java website and downloaded Java 7. Still can't download Minecraft because of said message. Java has taken down all older versions including Java 6. It is now only available to paying customers. |

Kumasasa, I checked that. uninstalled Java 6 updates 22 and 25, and Java 7 update 6. should I uninstall Java 7 update 10 and reinstall it? |

Please check, if you have multiple Java installations on your PC. For technical support please use the Mojang Support Center. |

Unable to reproduce, Please go here if you have an unmodified client: http://www.minecraftforum.net/forum/196-modded-client-support/ This sounds like you need technical support. |
