Invalid Checksum error installing Forge client

[Bazillion]

Hi guys,

I wanna install a Forge client, but whenever i want to install it, the installer immediately pops up error message saying "Downloading minecraft client failed, invalid checksum."

I heard that it is a DNS issue and that it can be solved by just changing the DNS settings. Did it work for me? Ofcourse not!

So do you guys have any tips?

Thanks for help

This is usually caused by having a very old version of java installed. Try updating it, or downloading a more recent release: https://adoptium.net/

It can also be caused by wrong  configuration in your hosts file. c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts or /etc/hosts on other OSes.
