Iteries

Having the same problem as David. I am using Win10 with Winrar (since I do some resource mods). However this Forge 1.13.2 is driving me insane to get it to work. I have Java jre1.8.0-161 and 8.0-211. I even changed the properties of jar files to open with java; command window then gone in a flash. Then tried it as javaw: nothing happens to javaws: gives this report as Unable to launch the application Details: CouldNotLoadArgumentException[ Could not load file/URL specified: E:\Games\Minecraft\MINECRAFT - Core Mod Styles\v1.13.2\Tools\forge-1.13.2-25.0.191-installer.jar] at com.sun.javaws.Main.launchApp(Unknown Source) at com.sun.javaws.Main.continueInSecureThread(Unknown Source) at com.sun.javaws.Main.access$000(Unknown Source) at com.sun.javaws.Main$1.run(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) Caused by: java.io.IOException: File too large at com.sun.javaws.jnl.LaunchDescFactory.buildDescriptor(Unknown Source) ... 5 more So which java app works? I even ran the look for in java panel and it only just picks up Minecraft Installer program. I have limited knowledge on this stuff. I been trying to update to 13.2 since a lot of my favorite mods are now up to 13.2. I been using the substitute for Forge on 13.2 but now that Forge is out they won't be updating (actually they never updated since their release) I JUST FIXED IT AND INSTALLED still : if at all can Forge have the easy button for Windows? since that never gave me any issues DAVIDM: okay, what I did was this: 1st: Move Forge to Desktop 2nd: click on the forge without opening it! 3rd: hit Window Icon on keybroad + X 4th: Choose Command prompt with Admin 5th Type in java -jar (file location*) then enter *Location should be at C:\Users\xxxx*\Desktop\forge-1.13.2-25.0.191-installer.jar **user is the person profile 6th: Forge should prop up! 7th: you can move forge back to where you save files Hope this works for you and anyone else!

Ahem, I am having the same issue here for hours and did as above. I use Win10, and java 1.8_201 JDK. I get as far as it ask if its okay to run the programs, dings the nothing. I clicked with javaw; then tried javaws and last just java. I have my favorite mods ready for 13 and been browsing here for help and those prior advice in trying to use MMC but I don't where the stuff goes as seems that everyone knows how too. If Forge 1.13 gets the use of easier install downloads like prior ones. I all for it but still like to try the newer stuff. Thank you for all the help. Itty
