confused on how to install new forge

[ILuvYouCompanionCube]

Hi everybody! Besides from the installer not working and (I quote) "giving up on trying to download" a couple of libraries, I have yet another doubt: the source files for mod dev. Is the installer supposed to install them to? If not, do I have to delete all of forge folders (mcp\, client\, fml\, mcp\reobf, etc... all that is under forge\) before installing the source for the new version of forge? Thanks for any help.

When you use the forge installer it will install all the folders and files you need (including the ones from mcp) so you don't need to download mcp before forge anymore.

ok thanks! now to figure out how to make the installer work... thanks again!

I always start with a fresh forge install for each new version and simply copy my source files into it after it's installed.  No worries about kruft from a previous installation.

 

e.g.

 

789/forge...

804/forge...
