The problem:
InvocationTargetException wraps another exception that occurs through reflection.
This means that the InvocationTargetException is pretty much useless without knowing what exception caused it.
Unfortunately, the way the launcher currently handles and reports errors, it will not show the original exception that occurred.This makes figuring out what is causing this exception very difficult.
My solution:
I wrote a tool that will do two things:
1. Download the latest version of the launcher from minecraft.net
2. Patch one file in the launcher so it reports the full exception.
You can download it from here (jar file download).I recommend everyone having this problem to download my tool and run it.
Then copy and paste the error log to your respective threads. (don’t hijack this one)Hopefully we’ll be able to determine the cause of this error, and resolve it.

This is good.
It’s looking like this exception is thrown most of the time by a problem with Java’s LookAndFeel.Do you have a custom Windows theme by any chance?

I’ve noticed other people having this problem and I’ve tried using some of the suggestions made however none have been working for me. Anyone else have any other ideas?
I’ve uninstalled and re-installed Java about 5 times and made sure it’s working properly, which it is.
I have Norton 360 on my computer and I’ve tried disabling it before I’ve tried to install Minecraft but it still won’t work.
Also made sure my date and time are correct on my computer.Bootstrap (v5)

Hi,
Minecraft does not have write permissions for some reason on the folder it wants to store data to.
Are you on an administrator account?
If so, try running Minecraft as an admin by right clicking -> Run as admin.Otherwise, if that doesn’t work,
You may need to try running Minecraft with a blank slate.
To do this, press your Windows+R keys, type in %AppData% at the dialog, and press Enter. In the window that appears, find the directory called .minecraft and right-click it to rename. Rename it to oldminecraft.
Try the launcher again.
If that didn’t work, see the change directory part in this article.
