So I have just bought minecraft from minecraft.net. I downloaded the installer "minecraftinstaller.msi" and installed it. Then I tried to open the minecraft launcher, but when i did that a window opened with the text "unknown error". I have no idea why this happens. I have tried to remove java and install it again but it did not work. I have a Windows Vista with 3GB RAM. Is that not enough to run minecraft? Have I wasted my money?
