When I start up minecraft it says like it has to download a new launcher and does it's thing, then at the end this message comes up: "Mojang native launcher updater
Problem moving C:Program Files (86)/Minecraft/tmp/tmplauncher.tmp to MinecraftLauncher.exe with error code 5"
FIXED: What I had to do was uninstall the launcher in my program files 86, minecraft then delete minecraftlauncher then reinstall it on the official website
Day 1: launcher would fire every time I would open the program, game would start
Day 2: launcher would fire and receive the same error as OP
Day 2: uninstalled Minecraft, updated java, reinstalled minecraft, launcher would fire, but game would start
Day 3: launcher is still firing, but back to seeing the error code 5 as before.
Day 3: deleted the .tmp file as recommended, however I am still getting the launcher issue AND the error code, and I have repeated this step multiple times, without it fixing for me.
Honestly, going in and uninstalling or deleting files is not a fix, it's a sloppy work-around. Anyone know if Mojang is looking into this issue?
I may have to, however I did reinstall the game yesterday. There is something else going on here for this to continually be an issue, and for many many users of the software. The native launcher should not continually fire like this. It should download save and be available, only needing to check for updates, not continually download. Has anyone opened a ticket with Mojang on this issue?
This is what worked for me. Deleted the file (tmpLauncher.tmp) from the temp directory. tried launching minecraft again and it worked.
the 2nd time i had to drag the tmplauncher.tmp file ONTO the Minecraft.exe file. (which effectively tells the computer to use the minecraft exe to open the tmp file. Hope this helps.

I got this as well but re-trying it a couple of times started it working,
How did you uninstall your launcher? I am also having this problem, but I don't know how to go about fixing it like you did.
Its seem to be a timing issue, fix is either to spam it till it works, or delete the .tmp file in C:\Program Files(x86)\Minecraft

Its a timing issue, launcher might still have handles open when trying to replace the .exe and it fails, either spam it or do it manually

Not sure if this is a universal solution.
Simply locate the file by following the path stated in error message.
Drag the file (tmpLauncher.tmp) and move it to the desktop.
Reload minecraft
Personally this fixed for me.
Yup, its on the comments on the bug tracker
