Posted October 11, 201312 yr I'm really excited about modding with forge, but for the past 6 hours I've had no luck with installing it properly. To make things simple, I did a fresh install of just about everything, JDK 1.7.0_40, Eclipse, minecraft 1.6.4 as well as minecraft server, and of course Forge Source 9.11.1.923. I set my Path for Java correctly. After everything is downloaded, I hit install.cmd, the script runs for about 6 minutes but it doesn't seem to complete and there are no java libraries installed. Here is the dump from my mcp.log: 13:14:37 - == MCP 8.09 (data: 8.11, client: 1.6.4, server: 1.6.4) == 13:14:37 - OS : win32 13:14:37 - "scalac" is not found on the PATH.

October 13, 201312 yr Oddly enough I just installed the latest forge and had no issues. So let me see if I can help ya. Hrm... I am 99% certain its not needed though I have it installed. Did you try installing the SCALA compiler? You also said you got the PATH variable configured... What is it set to? It might also be a good idea to create a new variable just for Java and then add that variable to the PATH. A lot of tools like Maven and Ant look for Java by searching for the JAVA_HOME system variable. That is the one I use to make things easy. “Most good programmers do programming not because they expect to get paid or get adulation by the public, but because it is fun to program.” - Linus Torvalds
October 13, 201312 yr Author My Path is set to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_40\bin. I went ahead and added JAVA_HOME with the same address as well as installed the Scala compiler. Unfortunately install.cmd still stops prematurely at the same location. So strange.
October 13, 201312 yr And when you type "scalac -version" you get the version of the compile and not an error? Where are you putting the forge files? What is the full path? When you extract the files from the src zip file you download you are leaving the file structure intact right? Just drag the forge folder out of the zip file. “Most good programmers do programming not because they expect to get paid or get adulation by the public, but because it is fun to program.” - Linus Torvalds
October 13, 201312 yr Author scalac -version returns "Scala compiler version 2.10.3" I was just keeping the forge file in the Downloads folder Users\Jack Harper\Downloads\forge however, I tried placing it in Roaming\.minecraft\forge as well with no change. The installation videos I have watched didn't say the placement mattered, does it? I don't mess with the structure, just extract then run install.cmd
October 13, 201312 yr No moving is not what meant. I just wanted to see if you leaving the forge file structure intact.

October 13, 201312 yr Hey, I noticed that the MCP log says "13:14:38 - Error: Unable to access jarfile runtime\bin\jadretro.jar" Is that file maybe corrupted or missing?? Try going to mcp\runtime\bin and see if that file exists. If it does, try opening it with winrar/7-zip http://i.imgur.com/gWwyMMO.jpg[/img]
October 14, 201312 yr Author Do the logs in mcp/logs give anything else ? No, mpc.log is still exactly the same as initially posted. mcperr.log reads: 06:23:49 - "scalac" is not found on the PATH. Scala files will not be recompiled Its really strange that the scala compiler still isn't found as I have its path (C:\Program Files (x86)\scala\bin) set under PATH and SCALA_HOME, plus I am able to use scala commands under cmd. Hey, I noticed that the MCP log says "13:14:38 - Error: Unable to access jarfile runtime\bin\jadretro.jar" Is that file maybe corrupted or missing?? Try going to mcp\runtime\bin and see if that file exists. If it does, try opening it with winrar/7-zip That particular .jar isn't there, even after a fresh install and run of Forge source.
October 15, 201312 yr Author Hmm..... Is this the latest forge? the filename is minecraftforge-src-1.6.4-9.11.0.883 - Is this not the latest release?
