thanks for answering, this must be a busy time, I get what you say about the launcher not pointing to the desired place.
I guess the launcher will be better in future, I have tried to get answers on the mcforum and googled a lot - but i'd really like to know what is it about the auto forge installer that does restrict saves to the version it creates - could you maybe make an auto installer for 152? I have no idea how much work would be involved for you; or tell me how to adapt the installer to 152? The jar created by the installer looks very different to the one made manually.
ed - took out a sentence that was in twice (I was tired )
Anyway, I'm being impatient I guess, Thanks again
