Forge not downloading

[Interlace]

Hi all,

 

Recently I built a computer and had been using badlion client but I didnt like it plus some of the mods didnt work. So i wanted to download forge. but for some reason when I download it, no laucher or .exe file shows up, it just wants to open with internet explorer. On my old pc it worked just fine but to reiterate, when I click download on the version I want, no launcher or .exe file shows up in the bottom right. Instead it wants to open it with internet explorer and then when I click it, it takes me to internet explorer and says something like "what do you want to do with forge something" so i click save and it saves. then once it saves I click open and it says "what do you want to do with forge" or something like that and it ends up being a big loop. Does anyone know how to fix it?

Some zip managers like to take control of the .jar file extension away from Java.
Make sure you have Java installed and try running Jarfix once, then try the installer again.

wait make sure java is installed?
