I got this when my internet was down. It's either that or minecraft.net being derpy. Try again a later time... Try right-clicking the launcher before you start it and choose "run as admin", might help.

nothing is working... i recently got a new pc and this is the first time launching the launcher, so i have no files downloaded for the pack. very annoying.
