That fixed it! For anyone else having this problem you don't need to uninstall Java 9, if you have 9 and 8 installed you can specify which version of Java to run by entering the full directory in your batch file like so: Note the quotes around the directory, they're necessary if there are any spaces (like in the folder "Program Files"). Thanks for the help!

Hello, I'm trying to use the forge installer to install a modded server on my computer. I've tried about 5 separate times now (each time in a different folder) to install the server yet it crashes each time I try to run it. The unmodded vanilla server .jar file downloaded through the installer runs just fine, however trying to run the forge server .jar (with or without my batch file) produces the following error: The contents of the batch file I'm trying to use are as follows: Any idea what's up? Thanks. EDIT: Forge installer version is 1.12.2-14.23.1.2555
