hi nokuru.

please note your system informations.

so if you click 'play', nothing happens at all? Are you shure the download process finnished (that can take a while) ?

do you have Java installed?

Three questions:
  • Are you connected to the internet when you click "play"? I know, a trivial question
  • How long did you wait? Downloading the necessary files might take a while
  • What message is shown at the bottom of the loader?
In any case, it helps to know what OS you use and what Java version is installed.

- yes, i am connected to the internet.
- my connection is really fast, and i also watched the progress bar fill up.
- when i click play it says 'launching application' and then the text vanishes, no application is launched.

Another issue: Does your graphics card fulfil the minimum requirements?
Graphics card: 64MB memory, driver supporting OpenGL, Shader 2.0 support
"driver supporting OpenGL" means you need a non default graphics driver if you are on Windows Vista and below IIRC. This means you should update your graphics driver.
