Put the summary of the bug you're having here
*What I expected to happen was successfully playing minecraft
*What I thought would happen is after clicking the 'Play' button in the launcher, Minecraft would load so I could play it.
*What actually happened was instead of going to the minecraft menu screen, (with the option of selecting singleplayer,etc) I was directed to the game output area of the launcher. I think this line of text in the launcher log is important:
Caused by: java.io.IOException: Create Process error=2, The system cannot find the file specified
Describe what happened here
I clicked the 'Play' button in the minecraft launcher and was directed to the game output page of the launcher instead of the actual game.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch minecraft with Windows 7, Java version 8, and any minecraft version.
2. Click on the 'Play' button in the launcher
3. The game doesn't load, so you can't play it.

Sorry can't attach a file right now, 'The JIRA server could not be contacted. This may be a temporary glitch or the server may be down.' Closed dialog and reloaded, l will get it there ASAP
Looks like you need to reinstall java.
This is a technical support issue; this site is for bug reports only. For technical support please use the Mojang Support Center.
Please attach the complete output of the "Game Output" which can be found on the second tab of the launcher.
If the launcher closes after game start, please edit your profile and select "Launcher visibility" then, "Keep the launcher open".
