Forge 1.18.2 exit code 1

[nobleway]

Im trying to launch forge release 1.18.2-forge-40.2.0 and when I do it gives me "Exit Code 1" I looked that up and i found the fix which was a missing Java Executable "C:\Program Files (x86)\Minecraft\runtime\jre-x64\1.8.0_25\bin\javaw.exe" which i typed and found in the folder, but now when i hit play it says 
Unable to locate the Java runtime.

Error details: 0x00000000 - system: The operation completed successfully.

Filename on disk: javaw.exe

Path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Minecraft\runtime\jre-x64\1.8.0_25\bin\javaw.exe

Exists: Nonexistent

even though i see the javaw.exe file

EDIT: I realized i didnt have the \1.8.0_25\ file and i deleted it from the pathway and it still didnt work
