Hey all,

On a fresh install of windows and wanted to play some modded. Did the usual install of java but noticed that the forge installer for 1.12 wouldnt open. I also tried the .exe installer but that also was no help. I did some troubleshooting and tried installing a few versions of java i.e. the latest from oracle, an older version of java 16 and a couple of versions of OpenJDK. I came across a solution detailing how to use powershell to manually open the installer. However doing this results in this error message:

If anyone could provide some clues as to what this means i would gladly appreciate it. Cheers!

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