nevermind i figured it out thank you so much for your help

i tried using java - jar and it says couldnt create virtual machine

so should i delete then redownload everything?

yes i have java downloaded but when i try to run the installer it says unable to install java there are errors in the following switches. and it shows the launcher file

I downloaded it from the site and when i go to launch it it just opens minecraft launcher. it was installed as a .jar file and other times when i open it it asks me what i would like to open it with.
