"there is no minecraft launcher profile at this location you need to run the launcher first"

Minecraft Java Edition is now avaible for Game Pass. When I tried to install forge for the Microsoft Store launcher, it is saying that "there is no minecraft launcher profile at this location you need to run the launcher first", can someone help me? I already launched the game and still has the same problem

Hey,

Also currently trying to install and mod java version from gamepass. The forge installer looks for launcher_profiles.json, but the game pass version uses the new installer they're pushing, which uses launcher_profiles_microsoft_store.json. Changing the json name does not work, as the launcher will automatically use the microsoft_store one. Is there a way to have the forge installer look for the new file name instead? I think this has to do with Microsoft pushing a new version of the launcher, which is the one in gamepass.

The problem is that I've reset my .minecraft folder so how can i reinstall forge now?
