Hi,

So im new to mods and tried to install my first one today.

First I ran the 1.16.5 forge installer, but after that realized that I didn´t had the right version on my minecraft (I was on 1.17.1). After that installed the 1.16.5 version of the game and ran again the recomended forge installer "forge-1.16.5-36.2.0-installer". it said that was sucesfully installed, but it is not in the launcher.

Also looked in the "AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\versions" but no forge version there

I´ve checked java version and i´m running Java 8

Don´t know what I can be doing wrong

Thanks in advance

Where in the launcher are you looking for Forge?

This is my Forum Signature, I am currently attempting to transform it into a small guide for fixing easier issues using spoiler blocks to keep things tidy.

 

As the most common issue I feel I should put this outside the main bulk:

The only official source for Forge is https://files.minecraftforge.net, and the only site I trust for getting mods is CurseForge.

If you use any site other than these, please take a look at the StopModReposts project and install their browser extension, I would also advise running a virus scan.

 

For players asking for assistance with Forge please expand the spoiler below and read the appropriate section(s) in its/their entirety.

Thanks for your response

 

Im looking in the main page and in the instalations tab -> New instalation (see images LAucher 1 & launcher 2)

 

Also I´m attaching the version folder where you can see that no forge folder was created and a screenshot of the "Successfully installed..."

 

Regrards,

VD

 Well, didn´t see that comming... 

I know that it´s not forge related but would you recomend installing in a new windows instance? Nothing that can be done in the installer right?

 

Anyway thanks for your support!

It could also be that thing where antivirus runs the installer in a sandbox so it passes but doesn't actually do anything

Something should be really damaged with me or my PC, did everything from scratch. New Windows user (non ASCII), installed minecraft, installed 1.16.5 opened the game, closed the game, closed antivirus, ran forge installer. It said sucessfull and now not only no instalation appears, but no install log generated...

I´m lost here... only thing I can imagine is in other computer

Any ideas?

Just to be clear you've disabled every antivirus you have while running the installer, correct?

Just to update, 

Reinstalled Minecraft and compleatly deleted the antivirus (COMODO) and finally could install Forge. In the new Windows account and also in the non ASCII account.

Problem solved. Thanks all, seems the antivirus was the problem, not only disable but had to delete it.

Sounds like a dirty product if "Disable" doesn't mean "Disable"
