whenever I use the bat file to start the forge server I get the following error. I am brand new to this so a detailed step-by-step would be appreciated. the bat file works with the vanilla version of the server all I do is switch the name in the bat file.

C:\Users\devin\Desktop\1.7.10>java -Xmx8G -Xms5G -jar forge-1.7.10-10.13.4.1614-1.7.10-universal.jar nogui

Press any key to continue . . .

the server is for 1.7.10 when I compare the bat file of a forge 1.18.1 it has this line java @user_jvm_args.txt @libraries/net/minecraftforge/forge/1.18.1-39.0.79/win_args.txt %* and works fine. the 1.7.10 works if I use the server.jar instead of a bat file
