Posted August 26, 201312 yr 3.5 hours later.. Found a super cool program that fixes the "hijack" problem with zip apps and .jar files. Problem: Everytime I doubled clicked the forge installer download, I would get the quick cmd box for a split second or sometimes nothing. I didn't realize it but 7-zip had hijacked the jar association. Found this app. ran it , fixed it , double clicked the forge download and ...worked. OMG what a pain.. Hope this helps the many that were pulling their hair out. http://johann.loefflmann.net/en/software/jarfix/index.html download the jarfix.exe took 1 second and then double clicked forge installer file and now back to installing all the great mods...
August 26, 201312 yr It took you 3.5 hours to find a link that is in our EAQs that are stickied in this very forum.... Really people you should read the damn stickey its only one! I do Forge for free, however the servers to run it arn't free, so anything is appreciated. Consider supporting the team on Patreon
August 26, 201312 yr Author Hi I know things are clear for you but this was today first time to this site and forum. a lot to take in on one visit. Yes would of been nice if I saw that one line at the bottom of EAQ but I missed it buried in all that other stuff. didn't come up on the search I did on this forum. Maybe just one BOLD word would help it stand out. Anyways, sorry you got annoyed. It's an amazing product Forge and I appreciate it and the work you've done. my MC experience is so much greater. Cheers
