forge not working

[kagamisama01]

I want to use an old mod for some reason, but the forge-1.12.2-14.23.4.2764 installer does not work with the following error.

Is there a way to install this version other than the installer?
The method of copying and overwriting the version of the .minecraft folder according to the explanation site on the net did not work.

I don't want such an answer [1.12 is no longer supported on this forum.

Please update to a modern version of Minecraft to receive support.]
