The new launcher is unable to find my workdir or java executable because I'm using a mounted volume (C:\home) instead of a dedicated drive letter.
When Curse automatically updated the Minecraft launcher, I got the error "Game directory is invalid or inaccessible." I created a new instance and saw the same error. I copied the new instance folder to the root C:\ and updated the Game Directory in the Launch Options in the new launcher, and then it then gave me a different error: "Unable to local java runtime." I verified the path to javaw.exe was valid, and copied this file to the new folder on C:\ and then I was able to launch Minecraft normally.
