Forge 1.6.2 Installer Virtual Machine Issues

[piggyapocalypse]

Hey guys,

 

I'm having trouble installing Forge for 1.6.2. I'm getting this error:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Could not find the main class:

C:/Users/***/Desktop/minecraftforge-installer-1.6.2-9.10.0.84.jar.

Program will now exit.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've looked for some solutions, but I've not managed to find anything. I've made sure it's for the right version and it is the installer.

 

Anyone know of any solutions? (or what I'm doing wrong?)

java -cp minecraftforge-installer-1.6.2-9.10.0.84.jar cpw.mods.fml.installer.SimpleInstaller

Either that or redownload your jar.

java -cp minecraftforge-installer-1.6.2-9.10.0.84.jar cpw.mods.fml.installer.SimpleInstaller

Either that or redownload your jar.

 

Sorry, but I have no idea what you mean with the first option. Could you explain what I do with that, or whatever..? I'm really clueless.

Make a new text file. Write

java -cp minecraftforge-installer-1.6.2-9.10.0.84.jar cpw.mods.fml.installer.SimpleInstaller

on the text file

Save it as run-forge-installer.bat and select all type of file (*.*)

Put this file in the same folder as the installer to forge and run it.

Well, it seems to have done something, but it hasn't fixed the issue. Thanks anyway for your input! ^.^ It doesn't seem to be just this file, I can't open my 1.6.2 jar either. To re-install it, do I just delete that jar and run minecraft again?

Yes.

It turns out it was a problem with Java itself, I needed to delete my previous version of Java, it's working now!

Thanks for the help, though!
