Make a test with Java 17 - remove the newer version before

This is a known issue caused by Mojang abruptly removing one of their domain names. A fix is underway.

Download a fresh copy of the installer and it should be fixed.

Thank you so much! Unfortunately before reading this I reinstalled my java installer. Now when I try to open the forge installer I receive an error message stating 'Unable to install Java' even though I have definitely downloaded and installed the latest version. Any idea what this could be or how I could fix it?

Uninstall all versions of Java on your PC, reboot, then follow the guide in the FAQ
