[jordaniel56]

What did you use to run Minecraft.

What account did you run it under?

This would not show up if you are pointing it at a valid minecraft install.

[jordaniel56]

The launcher of course.

 

The profile is my MC name.

 

[jordaniel56]

woops 1.7.10

 

[LexManos]

That tells me nothing. I need the exact version of the launcher and where you downloaded it from.

The logs it provides, etc..

And I mean the computer profiule not the launcher profile.

Computer Profile? Dunno whats that.

Wait, im using Java 7. And it says its Java 8. Dafuq

[LexManos]

The exe launcher installs java 8 for you to use in Minecraft.

What path are you running the game from. {Stupid log not having the path u.u}

Either way, the installer tries to install to %AppData%/.minecraft by default.

Which is also where Minecraft installs to.

You can get the full path by running MC, going to Options -> Texture Packs -> Open Texture Pack Folder

 

[jordaniel56]

User/AppData/Roaming/.minecraft

 

 

[LexManos]

And what path is the installer trying to install to?
