Solution. I have resolved the issue. Indeed it did install successfully however something about my computer stops it from writing the profile that accesses the version. I haven't found a way to retrieve the "forge" profile but in my existing profile I am able to select forge version what ever as my version of minecraft. in edit profile->use version select the version of forge you need for the mod save profile and play. the only draw back is, I have to do this each time I load as it doesn't actually save the changes.

Even though I have no "forge" profile, and the mods in my mods folder (which I had to create) have zero presence in the game? I'll go check their sites but it still seems like "Error there was a problem writing the launch profile, is it write protected?" is still not installed right.

srry my bad.

after reinstalling java and the jre I still got the same message.

Ok so I'm trying to install forge-1.8-11.14350 (installer) for minecraft version 1.8.8 I run the .exe as the admin but I always get this "there was a problem writing the launch profile, is it write protected?" I click ok but only get "this program was not installed correctly. . .install using recommended settings?. . .it installed correctly?" I use the install using recommended settings option but same thing "there was a problem writing the launch profile. . ." I found a post similar to this with the solution being reboot your computer. I have tried this and nothing, still same error. I found a youtube video saying most common issues arise due to java and that I should uninstall all my java related files and load these ones. http://java.com/en/download/ http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html (jdk-8u65-windows-i586.exe) http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html (jre-8u65-windows-x64.exe) all accessed on oct/29/2015, files were for windows x64, and were .exe's I also found a forum post saying forge 1.8 doesn't support or is supported (which ever) by java 1.8 and that the poster should downgrade to 1.7 but when I followed the link it was to the Java dev tools that i had already downloaded. apologies for not having my logs I am unfamiliar with them, if they're needed to help solve my problem please instruct me on their retrieval.
