    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.

    You posted the minecraft launcher log?

    Since you haven't installed forge yet, that is irrelevant.

    If you wanted to post a log, the installer log would be more relevant (see the faq for how to find it).

     

    But since you can't actually run the installer, there won't be a log for that either.

     

    The link I posted above explains why you can't the run installer and how to fix it.

     

    Alternatively, you can open a command line in the folder where you downloaded the installer and run the command: 

    java -jar forge-xxx-installer.jar

    replace xxx with the version you downloaded.
