MCL-3750No indication when launcher fails to create directory
I have some older profiles that are set up to use a different username (from an older PC), which use the wrong game directory. It has an invalid username on it, and the launcher can't create the new user folder (because C:/Users/ doesn't allow it). This is entirely logical.
However, when the laucher does this, it doesn't abort the launch visually, although it does output info to the console.

[14:47:16 ERROR]: Aborting launch; couldn't create game directory
The problem here is that it looks like it's just taking a long time to launch, while in reality it has aborted the launch. It also keeps the "Launch" button disabled forever (IE, until closing and reopening the launcher).
I expected the launcher to fully abort the launch (as it does when it cannot download a version) and switch to the logs tab.

Added Fixed Versions: 2.0.805 (Mac OS) 2.0.806 (Windows)
Confirmed.
Is this still a concern in the current Minecraft Launcher version 2.0.805 / 2.0.806? If so, please update the affected versions in order to best aid Mojang ensuring bugs are still valid in the latest releases/pre-releases. If this has been done, we can reopen the issue.
Keep in mind that the "Resolved"-Status on this ticket just means "Answered", and that we are waiting for further information on whether this issue still exists or not. It will be reopened it as soon as the requested information has been delivered.
Fixed in new launcher; dialog box opens with a message like
when launching with a --workDir set to an invalid directory. Probably still present in the java launcher.
