Forge.jar won't open

[Aldoraz]

So I downloaded a Feed The Beast Forge Server (FTB Presents Direwolf20 1.12 Version ID: 2051 to be exact) directly from the official website but I can't open the forge-1.12.2-14.23.5.2855.jar

I tried the usual solutions like reinstalling, tried Java 8, which worked for another person, then installed the newest version of Java, but I still can't open the forge.jar

I hope somebody can help me out. Thanks in advance.

1.12 is no longer supported on this forum.
Please update to a modern version of Minecraft to receive support.

OK, thank you, but well, same problem exists with the 1.16.5 forge.jar

Unlikely. Show the error you get with 1.16.5.

minecraft 1.16.5 requires java 8-15 but it prefer 8, you use 16

So Java 8 - Java 15 or Java 8 Update 15? 
Java's naming system really confuses me.

forge work with java 8-15, but minecraft prefer/use java 8, the best would be to use java 8

I installed what I think is Java 8 and now it works as intended, thanks everyone for their help
