When this download finished, It shows up one more box, and there was written 'Unable to start launcher, please try again. How do I fix this. It worked just fine for me.

If you're at home, it's likely the installer's malfunctioning. Save it instead of immediately running it. You will need Java installed for this to work. It's a bug with Avast Antivirus software that messes it up for some reason.

You should be able to fix it by disabling the web and file shields while the runtime's downloading and enabling them after. It worked for me, but I'm on mac so it might be different.

My Minecraft installation gets stuck downloading the runtime and it does not advance past that point: I've tried restarting it over 20 times but it stays stuck. Then, after a while it says: Unable to start the Minecraft Runtime Enviroment.

But even after I repair it, it still doesn't work. Anyone know what's causing this? Improve this question. Jul 29, 7 0 0. Yeah, its been doing the same thing for me too, not only that, but it seems to freeze my entire internet. DJGamer said:. Those files come straight from majang, not FTB. Do you have this issue with the vanilla launcher? Not for me, the vanilla launcher works, just not the FTB launcher. I've since given up on trying to get it to work and just added the pack downloaded from the creeperrepo to a MultiMC instance.

Go into the options tab then Advanced Options and under the drop-down menu for Download Location choose the one closest to you. All in all it tends to speed up the download speed so it may help. Already did, doesn't work. Booker The Geek said:. Aleishianna said:.
