I'm not new to forge or minecraft modding, although the last mods I installed were for version 1.10. Ive recently gotten back on my old laptop and got the latest release of Minecraft (1.16.3), and I downloaded the forge installer, then tried to run it in my minecraft launcher. The green bar loads all the way, and then I get this error message:
Unable to locate the Java runtime.
Error details: The operation completed successfully.
Filename on disk: javaw.exe
Path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Minecraft\runtime\jre-x64\1.8.0_25\bin\javaw.exe
Exists: Nonexistent
What does it mean? What can I do to fix this issue? I have x64.
