So I'm trying to download the forge installer to make a server, but when I try to change the directory it literally does nothing, the button does not prompt me with anything. Has anybody ever had this issue? What can I even do?

You don't give much information beyond "it does not work".

If the GUI is not working for you (for some reason) you can use the command line.

Copy the installer jar into the folder you want for the server then type 

java -jar "installer.jar" --installServer

replacing installer.jar with the real name. 

java -jar "installer.jar" --help

will give you all the command line options.

Boilerplate:

If you don't post your logs/debug.log we can't help you. For curseforge you need to enable the forge debug.log in its minecraft settings. You should also post your crash report if you have one.

If there is no error in the log file and you don't have a crash report then post the launcher_log.txt from the minecraft folder. Again for curseforge this will be in your curseforge/minecraft/Install

Large files should be posted to a file sharing site like https://gist.github.com  You should also read the support forum sticky post.

Sorry, I will try what you told me but to clarify, Basically I have the forge installer on my computer, when I open the installer and select install server, then try to change the directory, it simply does not open the file browser to change the directory.

Maybe try running the installer on the command line with 

java -jar "installer.jar" --debug

and see if you gives you an error message when you click the button?

Using CMD, I get this: "C:\Users\Samuel\Desktop\Servers\ShrimpoPack (NoNameYet)>java -jar "forge-1.19.2-43.2.6-installer" --help
Error: Unable to access jarfile forge-1.19.2-43.2.6-installer"

 

EDIT: Nvm I ran it with admin and it worked (the debug) the choosing file directory still isn't working though

 

EDIT2: The --installServer worked, I don't know why the GUI doesn't work but oh well, thanks for helping me out!

You haven't included the .jar on the end and you don't the need quotes.
