I'm not 100% sure, but I think the problem might be the recent patch. I have tried to install a couple other of my old mods that I used before the patch and they do not seem to work.. Perhaps the changes made in the last patch, were just enough to prevent some or most mods from installing... Just a guess.

There is no log, that I can find.. Minecraft won't successfully load..

First off, I'm a total noob with forge, so please forgive me if I'm totally doing this wrong.. After the recent update I cleared all my old mods, as I decided I needed a change.. I downloaded the latest version of Forge universal. Then after reinstalling Minecraft (first copied out my texture packs and save files to a safe location).. I opened minecraft.jar and deleted meta-inf .. I then copied over all the files in the forge universal file.. and started up minecraft... it started to load then popped up with a small window saying " FML is setting up your minecraft environment" I assume this is the forge set up... however it has been at 0% for about an hour. I have closed and tried several times with no success. Am I doing something wrong? Please advise.
