this has easy temporary fix:
delete all minecraft files from ya pc. including .minecraft at %appdata%
download minecraftlauncher.exe from Starting download of: linkhere.
run minecraftlauncher.exe
No problem.
New user here, just wanted to comment that I just downloaded Minecraft on my Windows 10 machine, and was greeted by this error immediately. The workaround was simple once I found it online, but it has been almost 2 years since first reported, seems like an easy thing to fix right?
I've had this problem... If you did not extract the file when you got the Native Launcher that is the error. I don't know why it doesn't say to when you try to open it and its unextracted. To fix go back in to your Downloads on File Explorer on Windows and then Right click on the "Minecraft.staging.zip" extract all then open it and let the Native launcher download and wait some more and boom your native (Minecraft) launcher is downloaded.
i have encountered this for a few times in last two weeks, which is -Vanilla 1.11.2. The troublesome partial? download of new launcher had 38.80MB and ended with the same error message. Well, i took the .tmp launcher file from the tmp directory and replaced the the old launcher in minecraft directory with it. then, another download happened of 3.89MB and now the launcher says it's version 1.6.76 and appears to be running fine.
nota bene - i've encountered this issue even when installing the brand new minecraft after removing all the old (supposedly corrupted) files. as it goes, it appears to me to be a mere pathfinding glitch of some kind of batch file or maybe it's firewall related (different rights granted to the file manager as opposed to the petty minecraft updater).
Resolving to MCL-5291 since it's the main ticket for error code 5
Previously I was using a shortcut on the task bar. I removed it from the task bar and tried using the one on the desk top, it worked. I then pinned it back to the task bar and now it works...
