I have just installed and re-installed forge-1.12.2-14.23.2.2611-universal into an empty folder using the installer and attempted to run it. Double-clicking gives me a brief second of appearance in task manager, and using a bat file gives me:
C:\Users\Kira\Desktop\Starland>java -Xmx1G -Xms1G -jar forge-1.12.2-14.23.2.2611-universal.jar
