Possible reproduction - Open the launcher, open MC, close it when it's loaded, then, open it again. Should present the error.

Another possibility,
Open the launcher, select ANY version you HAVEN'T downloaded, wait until the title screen loads, then close it. THEN re open the launcher.

Is this still an issue with the current Launcher 1.6.11 ?

Please download & install the Minecraft Installer from https://minecraft.net/download

Ticket resolved as incomplete, because no answer in a reasonable amount of time (1+ year), if it still happens, please update the ticket.
