Well I'm using windows XP 32bit and I put the minecraft.jar in the right place but when I fire up the batch file it says,

ERROR: Failed to run minecraft
JAVA6="C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_07\bin\java.exe"
Press any key to continue . . .

Am I missing some sort of java file or something?

Ah, mysterious errors!

Hmm, so it's only been happening to those of us who downloaded the game recently? Here's what I'm getting on Vista with SP2. I have no idea what any of it means, but I figured someone who does might find it useful:
