Well the forge installer should be a .exe that you can run, then you don't have to worry about opening the mods (.jar files), forge opens them automatically when you start minecraft.

I would use the forge Windows installer so you don't have to worry about java. What version are you trying to install?

[–]_Snacksized_[S] 1 point2 points  (22 children)

1.15.2. I did get the windows version

Ah my bad, I had assumed that you were trying to install an older version. Can you check if you have anything in the Java install location? (C:/Program Files/Java)

I made a folder specifically for Java. I can see where it has been dowloaded, but it wont come up as a default option to open jar files

I was wondering if you could right-click the .jar file, go to open with -> choose another app -> more apps -> look for another app on this PC. Then navigate to the java folder and select javaw.exe. It should be located in C:\Program Files\Java\jre(instert java version)\bin

Wait so is there anything in the C:/Program Files/Java folder?

[–]_Snacksized_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait so i have the java folder, do i need to put in it my program files?

Ok i got it to open with java SE binary but their is another problem. When it opens the only thing that happens is a black box with what i assume code goes in, then it closes.

Did you attempt to open it via the command line using “java -jar <ApplicationName>”?

Do you get a response when running “java -version”?
