I am having the same issue, I have no idea how to fix it but it really bums be out because I have been so excited for 1.19. I hope it gets fixed soon.
Windows 11?
Hi there!
Could you answer few questions regarding this issue, it will help with the investigation:
Does this issue occur on the newest version of the Launcher?
Does this issue occur on beta version of the Launcher?
Have you tried to install older version of the Launcher from the minecraft.net website (Windows 7/8 version)?
Are you logged in in both Xbox app, MS store, and Launcher with the same MS account?
Have you tried reinstalling the Launcher, but deleting .minecraft folder beforehand (copy it elsewhere before deleting)?
Is your Windows and associated apps (Xbox app, MS store) up-to-date?
Have you tried updating/downgrading JDK Java version?
Have you tried to re-registering MS store as written here?
Do you have enough free space on your disc drive?
Do you use VPN or any of the incompatible software on machine you try to log-in?
Could you provide us with more in-depth repro steps?
Please also provide full launcher_log file.
This ticket will automatically reopen when you reply.
I have this exact issue, I can't download any 1.19 snapshot or the release. It's really weird because all our files are different types of files from what I can tell.
It's labeled like this:
Error
Launching game Failed!
Unable to decompress file.
Error details: no message available
Filename on disk: ct.sym
Path: C:\Users\dbzne\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.4297127D64EC6_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Local\runtime\java-runtime-gamma\windows-x64\java-runtime-gamma\lib\ct.sym

To the people currently having the issue:
Are you using the MS store launcher or the standalone .msi launcher?
Here is the issue
I found out that the "splashscreen.dll" is downloaded, but the file is empty (has 0 bytes). Why it doesn't download, idk, but it might help.
I have the latest windows,
[media]
I am using the Microsoft launcher I am fairly certain, is there a way to tell?
I am on win7 an I assume I am on the standalone launcher since I haven't changed it since before I account migrated.
Also changing back to Minecraft 1.18 allows me to play but if I change it back to 1.19, it will start a download of around 2.75 - 3.75 MB and it will give me the error log
RESOLVED - PC Java version
I have used both the .msi and the windows store launchers and both produced the same errors, until....
My recommendation / fix:
Delete all .minecraft files and uninstall all Minecraft launchers.
Ensure Java JRE is up-to-date
Reinstall Minecraft launcher from here.
Test 1.19 on your machine.
In short, try the D.E.R.T method.
I think after resetting my Windows 11, it deleted all of the files including the old launcher files, and after re-installing the OLD launcher here, something was fixed.
Good luck.
According to the log, this may be of some relevance:
"Action failed with result "HTTP server doesn't seem to support byte ranges. Cannot resume." (33) : https://launcher.mojang.com/v1/objects/05c9dcada2e15aa982b26c81e092325d14c65137/jvm.dll"
ENVIRONMENT:
Windows 11 Home 22000.675; 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
CPU: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-11600KF @ 3.90GHz 3.91 GHz (No OC)
RAM: 16.0 GB (15.9 GB usable) 3200MHz
JRE: Version 8 Update 333
GPU: EVGA Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 12GB VRAM (No OC)
JDK and JRE was completely reinstalled from scratch. Rebooted.
Minecraft launcher and version completely reinstalled from scratch. Rebooted.
Attempted running the launcher with elevated permissions.
Reinstalled Windows 7/8 Launcher here.
Reset Windows 11 completely and reinstalled everything from scratch.
Amplifying information: Partner updated at the same time as me, almost Identical system with the only outlier being: Her system is Windows 10 Home, while my system run Windows 11 Home.
Currently, the fix has been found.
My thoughts: I believe the problem was isolated to the new launcher.
The Windows 7/8 launcher, after complete wipe and reinstall, works with Minecraft version 1.19; Find it here.
The following was a timeline of the steps taken to produce the error:
Update to Minecraft version 1.19
Set Java argument to "-Xmx8G -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:G1NewSizePercent=20 -XX:G1ReservePercent=20 -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=50 -XX:G1HeapRegionSize=32M"
Click "Play"
Error shows when download completes just before starting the game.
Started intense trooubleshooting. So far, all I have tried has been included in this post. Will add more when more T/S is performed.
THE FOLLOWING WAS REPORTED BY THE MC LAUNCHER:
ERROR
Launching the game failed!

Thank you for reading.
how do i do that on mac?
I don't own a Mac anymore but I assume it would be by uninstalling Minecraft and the .dmg and redownloading it and installing it. If I had one I'd try it for ya.
Will I lose all my worlds if i delete all monecraft folders and uninstall? I have some crazy hardcore worlds that I really don't want to lose...
The DERT method worked. thank you so much!
I have the similiar problems too. Sometimes is jvm.dll. Sometimes is another. But I found maybe there is a good way to solve the problem: In the verson edit - more options - JAVA EXECUTABLE, change JAVA such as JAVA version 17.0.1 in the minecraft bundle JAVA folder (or other proper JAVA version you have installed on your PC). Then you can play 1.19 as usual. So I think maybe the bundle JAVA has some issues.
Experiencing the same on MacOS Monterey v. 12.3.1
The tutorial below resolved for me with one alteration: the new java-gamma-runtime folder needs to go in the runtime subfolder of the minecraft folder.
I had the same problem and here is how i managed to fix it:
go in you .minecraft folder and delete everything but things you need like saves, mods, versions and other.
put the undeleted folders into the .minecraft folder
relaunch your launcher and play 1.19
It will then download all the required files and it should work properly
Hi again!
wolfieboy12612, has solutions listed above help to solve your issue?

I am having the same error, albeit with a different file.
//Unable to decompress file.
Error details: no such file or directory
Filename on disk: jabswitch.exe

Exists: FileI have tried all listed solutions above, all versions of the Minecraft Launcher for PC (Win 10/11, Win 7/8, executable and msi installers), Uninstalled/Deleted all relevant files, but still can't get any recourse.
Attached is my launcher log.
Hi!
Have you tried reinstalling / updating Java to the latest version?
Or even outright changing to java installation from java.com and not oracle.com?
@Zgajak
Hi!
Java was already updated to the latest available version, but I uninstalled and reinstalled it to be safe and there was no change to my issue since it had to do with the included JRE.
I pointed Minecraft to run from my system's java executable and encountered MCL-18306 which required me to delete the JavaCheck.jar file in the game directory for the Minecraft Launcher installation. Post-JavaCheck.jar deletion, the game booted.
This does not solve the initial cause of MCL-21565 which seems to stem from a failed file download. The file JabSwitch.exe does exist in the filesystem under ..\runtime\java-runtime-gamma\windows-x64\java-runtime-gamma\bin, but registers as an empty file with a size of 0B, consistent with @TouchierDwarf125 having a copy of "splashcreen.dll" that is 0B in size.

Edit: I have reason to believe that the issue is directly correlated to IPV6 issues. After disabling IPV6 on my router, I was able to successfully download the missing file nearly instantaneously, and boot into Minecraft as normal.
Cursory research leads me to believe this may either be a general IPV6 issue, an issue with intel NICs, or a combination of both. Further testing required
updated related error messaging; hopefully that helps for users who run into this next.
I am also having this issue, except it gives me the a different file path:
Filename on disk: jvm.dll
Path: D:\Minecraft\runtime\java-runtime-gamma\windows-x64\java-runtime-gamma\bin\server\jvm.dll
