Unable to install Minecraft Java on Windows 11

Hi and thanks for reaching Microsoft Xbox gamer's community. My name is Josef.

I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft Xbox user like you.

Hope you're doing great today despite this Jeffry

Are you trying to install the launcher from the Xbox app?

If that's the case, can you try instead downloading the launcher for Windows 10/11 via minecraft website?

https://www.minecraft.net/en-us/download

Just to confirm, your laptop uses an intel/AMD (x86-64) processor or it has an ARM processor?

And which troubleshooting steps you have done so far to fix this?

In that way I can advise you different things or how to proceed

I am having a similar issue. Have been trying to figure out a solution for weeks now. So, I go to the minecraft page for the java download. I attempt to purchase the game. It logs me into my microsoft account. It then presents a box allowing me to download Minecraft for either Windows 10/11 or Windows 7/8. I am running Windows 11 so choose accordingly. It downloads the appropriate installer. I then attempt to open that file and am immediately presented with the error code box that was reported at the start of this thread. The installer does open in the background and if I close the error code message box, I can click the check box to accept the terms/conditions in the installer. The installer then looks like it is beginning the install but the progress bar never moves.

Any help would be appreciated! As it stands now, I am unable to install Minecraft Java so there is no uninstall that is needed as it currently isn't installed on my machine.

Cheers

Hello Georgina, my name is Zahir.

I would assume you are trying to download on a windows pc.

You will have to install the minecraft launcher first.

To play Minecraft: Java Edition, download and install the correct launcher for your operating system. Sign into the Launcher using your Microsoft account, and you will be able to run Java Edition.

To play Minecraft: Bedrock Edition, you will need a device running Windows 10 or 11 to download and install the newest version of the Launcher, within which you can launch and play Minecraft: Bedrock Edition. Sign into the Launcher using your Microsoft account, and you will be able to run Minecraft: Bedrock Edition.

I set all xbox related services to automatic and started them. There are no "gaming services".

Since I reinstalled windows last night "Minecraft for windows" is the only game that has successfully installed through the Xbox app. Ive attempted many times today to install the title "Minecraft Java Edition" which the Xbox app says I "own" and to "install" but continue to run into an error 0x00000001. As we speak I am attempting to install Halo: The Master Chief Collection but like the previous title "Minecraft Java Edition", it has failed to download.

I am able to successfully launch and Play "Minecraft for Windows" but am currently Unable to download any other title.

Hi, quick question. So how exactly do I know if I have the Windows version vs the Bedrock version on my pc? Because I installed the new minecraft launcher, and according to it, I have the windows edition of minecraft, even though I have minecraft on my xbox. Would I just be unable to get a free java edition?
