    Ok, so I just found out about this piece of genius, but when I try to run it to give it a go, I just get this message saying: 

    Failed to Launch
     
    Fatal error occured (5): null
    Extracting: lwjgl.jar.lzma to lwjgl.jar 

    I've tried deleteing the files under appdata and re-launching, as well as reinstalling java, but to no avail.
     
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Managed to sort it in the end by running the exe on a different PC to download the files and then transfering them over. Still pretty weird though.

    @Stagger: Try deleting Minecraft.exe and re-download it.

    I fixed it by downloading the other .exe.
