[1.6.4] How to check if Forge has been installed?

[AXELTOPOLINO]

Hello guys,

I'm making a custom installer for one of my mods and I need to detect if the right Forge version has already been installed correctly into Minecraft.

 

How could I do that? I already have the correct path to the MC directory, I just have to detect if Forge is there, but what should I check exactly?

 

Thanks guys as always,

Axel

This is done automatically by forge. If the correct version isn't installed, then it will not have the methods it needs and as such, it will tell the user that they need to use Forge version x.

Wow, this time both your answers are very useless.

 

1. Nobody said that my mod only uses the zip file.

2. I need to check it BEFORE the player starts the game, so I need to know a unique way for detecting Forge's version or at least if Forge is installed.

 

Any idea? Thank you
