OS: Windows 10
Launcher Version:
[1.6.0]
Issue: Proper Java downloaded however the launcher refuses to accept it.
Explanation: First time with the launcher, just trying to get in game. I downloaded the proper, x64, 1.8.0 Java, and gave the launcher the proper 'bin/javaw.exe'
Still nothing. I just need help.

EDIT
: Here's what pops up everytime I click 'PLAY'; http://prntscr.com/of2nxl

Sorry for the wait @FryingFish, must have missed this.

Double check the java execution path, if it were pointed at the correct java, it wouldn't throw that error. I'm guesstimating it's pointed at C:\Program Files(x86)\Java\.. and that'd be the 32bit version. The 64bit version's default install path is C:\Program Files\Java\.. without the (x86) part. Double check if there's a Java folder in that location, and update the execution path appropriatelly (should be able to just delete the (x86) part from it if Java's installed in the default location);
