The Launcher loads fine, but when I click "Play" it seems to be downloading 1.8.4.jar according to the status bar, then crashes.
The complete output from "Game Output (my minecraft name)" on the fourth tab is:
Error: Could not find or load main class net.minecraft.client.main.Main
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM warning: Using incremental CMS is deprecated and will likely be removed in a future release
Apologies for posting here if I've made an obvious error, but I have removed both Minecraft and Java, run registry cleaners and reinstalled from scratch several times without success, and spent 60 minutes searching for a solution without any success.
Can anyone help me?

Forgive me. When I bought the game, I had assumed I might be provided with technical support by the people that made it. my other post was marked as "Resolved" when there was absolutely no resolution to my problem at all! How can I get someone to help me install this game???
