Trying to launch versions 1.12.2 and before will crash

After updating to the most recent launcher, launching the game will crash upon launch. Pressing the "PLAY" button will give an error message.

What I expected to happen was:

The game would open in a new window and would run.

What actually happened was:

An error message appeared:
"ERROR
Game crashed
An unexpected issue occurred and the game has crashed. We're sorry for the inconvenience."

Steps to reproduce:

1. Launch the Minecraft Launcher.
2. Set the version of the game to any version 1.12.2 or older.
3. Press "PLAY".

Extras:

I have tried erasing and re-downloading the versions of Minecraft that I want to launch.

Game input is attached as screenshots.
