none of the forge 1.6.4 updates are working/error upon launch

[InuYasha86000]

i'm new to the forum so my appologies if I don't have everything right.

 

i've been trying to run any of the forge updates for 1.6.4 and they all are giving me this error on startup:

I use magic launcher for my mods, but i've tried running the forge release without magic launcher and without any mods active and still get that error. any ideas?

[Sen-Mithrarin]

clean up your .minecraft folder (or just delete it completly) and use official mojang-launcher

then use current Forge-901 installer (proven to be working correctly) and launch forge with official mojang-launcher

 

dont use OptiFine C5 and Rei's MiniMap 3.4 cause both no working correctly yet !

[LexManos]

Don't use MagicLauncher it is not properly launching the game.

Use the mojang launcher.

[InuYasha86000]

using the mojang launcher can I still have my mods loaded in the folders or do I have to put them in the .jar manually like before?

[LexManos]

In the folder...

Forge has never, and will never condone modifying the jar directly for your mods. That would be retarded.

[InuYasha86000]

i've had mods before ML was around that required modding the jar. I wanted to make sure I did not have to. I used to HATE modding the jar.

 

[EDIT] forgot to ask, I want to run optifine with my mods and forge but optifine needs to (as far as I can tell) install it's own modded MC like what forge does. my question is, how if at all possible, can you run both optifine and forge at the same time?

[luacs1998]

Just dump optifine in your mods folder.

[InuYasha86000]

ok, not to sound dumb, but does it have to be in the .jar or zipped instead?

 

[EDIT] NVM, got it. I couldn't remember if they needed to be jar or zip, i remember something about mods had to be changed for something now but couldn't remember what way. thank you to all who have helped btw.
