Ok, I got chided for not making my own post because I equally said I can't get minion started but I brought up a problem that is on a different path. I apologize for that.
I would like to share my solution since I have found one recently:
As far as I know, only the Java is working as of this post. All are welcome to refute this.
Download Minion for Java.
Install java for Windows.
Make a shortcut to desktop for Minion (minion-jfx.jar) by right clicking and selecting "send to" and select for Desktop (or wherever you want it).
Right click on the shortcut and go into properties.
Look at the "Target" window and add the following to the FRONT (before the quotes) of the target path: "javaw.exe -jar" (not the quotes) and click "Apply".
This will also make it so you can add to the taskbar if you wish.
The following video also explains it:

I hope this helps those who can't get Minion working
If this is posted in the wrong part of the forums, it was not intentional
