Isargerrits, thank you for the heads up. once i uninstalled all java programs and installed Java 8 Update 131, all java commands now work

All of the available Java commands that I try to run from Command Line or PowerShell simply run into errors or fatal exceptions. It won't even check the version. If it starts with java this line shows up: Error occurred during initialization of VM java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object Closest I managed to get was the command <java -xf forge-1.11.2-13.20.0.2294-installer.jar> and the output was: Unrecognized option: -xf Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine. Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

by that I mean the different commands that can be run within command line

it can't run any of the Java scripts without encountering an error

latest Java version and here is the result: C:\Users\Andrew\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft> .\forge-1.11.2-13.20.0.2294-installer.jar C:\Users\Andrew\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft>

the second part was in response to both questions on bullet point 2

I try to put all minecraft related files in the minecraft folder and all that happens is the loading wheel appears next to the mouse cursor and then disappears within half a second

It doesn't display anything. this is all that's shown: PS C:\Users\Andrew\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft> .\forge-1.11.2-13.20.0.2294-installer-win.exe PS C:\Users\Andrew\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft>

I tried that along with deleting all the contents of the .minecraft folder in Appdata and i even tried it with the universal installer with the same result

So I downloaded the latest and recommended versions of the forge installer, but when I tell my computer to run them, the installer window doesn't open. I have already run 1.11.2 vanilla. Please help
