So basically, I want to install forge 1.18, instead of 1.8.9, because currently that is unsafe. However, when I right click on it, and select open, it asks me what I to open it with. The default option, "Keep using this app," wants to make me use: "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-16.0.2\bin\javaw.exe". Now, that sounds right, so I use it. And it does absolutely nothing. It closes the "use this" window, and then I wait, and nothing happens. So I look up a video, and its supposed to say something like: "JavaTM Platform SE Binary," but I don't know how to make it say that. Could someone perhaps know the answer?
Note: I have uninstalled and reinstalled Java already, as well as redownloaded the Forge installer.
Note: I am using Java "Version 8 Update 311 (filesize: 81.71 MB)," if that's any help.
Note: This is me posting this for the second time, I posted it in the wrong place before. (idk why i put this in)
