minecraft forge question

does anyone have a link to 1.6.4 forge that will open in windows? i need that one cause my son is trying to use pixelmon 2.5.7 and i think thats the compatible one. The last 1.6.4 i downloaded i almost got it to open with java, but then it asked for java runtime enviroment...and when i tried to dl that it kept running me in circles. any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thank you for your help, do you by chance have a link or know where I could get forge 1.6.4 that actually opens when you download it? I had it downloaded but it was a jar file and I couldnt get it open at all....thats what started this post to begin with. Then Luacs gave me a great link for forge 1.7.2 that worked awesome, but now im finding out its not compatible with pixelmon... I will also check the forums... thank you!!

luacs!! im so excited....this is the farthest ive ever gotten trying to do this. i followed the link you gave and downloaded forge sucessfully! however...my son tried to use it and it said game crashed... is there anything else i can do? if it matters he is trying to use a pixelmon...

btw ...its the 1.6.4 version if that matters

i guess i will try the exe version because everytime i try using java it redirects me to enable java runtime something....so frustrating. any idea where to get the link for the exe ? sorry for all the questions but im a mom trying to do this for her son and i am clueless and frustrated at this point

thank you so much i will try it now

so i downloaded forge but when i click on it to install it wont open any ideas on what programs i should use? adobe wont work i downloaded bitzipper doesnt work either. please any help i would appreciate thanks
