I have been trying to install forge, but I can't even get the installer to run. I'm really not sure what the issue is, first let me make sure I am even using the installer right, I downloaded the forge installer matching my minecraft version (1.19.2), if I double click the .jar from the download then I see a flash of a black window that immediately disappears. If I use a command prompt, I receive the following output:
C:\Users\austi> java -jar forge-1.19.2-43.0.19-installer.jar
Error: Unable to access jarfile forge-1.19.2-43.0.19-installer.jar
I feel like this is more likely a java issue than a forge issue but I was hoping that people here might be able to help. I've tried a couple versions of java, at first I was using 8 I believe because all of the install guides for forge were a bit older so they linked to the java website rather than oracle. I tried version 18 from the oracle site and received the same result from command prompt. It is also entirely possible that I am doing something else wrong that is blatantly obvious to everyone else.
