Hello everyone,

I'm encountering an issue while trying to install Forge on Minecraft, and I'm hoping someone here can help me resolve it. During the Forge installation process, I'm receiving an error message stating that the file client-1.16.5-20210115.111550-slim.jar cannot be found at the specified location.

Here's the complete error message I'm receiving:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Users\Diego Verganti\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\libraries\net\minecraft\client\1.16.5-20210115.111550\client-1.16.5-20210115.111550-slim.jar (The specified path could not be found)

I've followed the installation steps provided on the official Forge website carefully, but I'm unable to resolve this issue. I've already tried restarting the installation process, ensuring that Minecraft is up to date, and even renaming the .minecraft folder to ensure there are no conflicts with default settings.

Has anyone encountered the same issue or does anyone have any suggestions on how I can resolve it? I would greatly appreciate any help or advice you can provide.

Thank you in advance!

Reinstall Java 17 and test it again

I've tried to reinstall java 17, but it doesn't work anyway

Is the problem solved now? I am also facing the same issue and that is why I came here to ask whether you resolved the issue or not. If you resolved the issue, then please let me know how solved it. Now, I will visit google search because I want to read reviews for this https://academized.com/write-my-thesis website where I found an essay writer who will write my thesis for me by taking some money but before that I want to read reviews so that I can trust their essay writers.

 

Is the problem solved now?

No, i've tried all but it doesn't work... I don't know how to do!!!

C:\Users\Diego Verganti\...

Maybe the space in your PC-NAME causing issues

Change the working directory: https://minecrafthopper.net/help/guides/changing-work-directory/

Run Miunecraft 1.16.5 once and close it in main menu

Run the forge installer again and change the directory to

C:\ProgramData\.minecraft\

 

now it changed error: Failed to run processor: java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException

Add the full log

This is the log file (I uploaded it on mediafire because forum says me i'm a bot):

https://www.mediafire.com/file/q3d9j9d7dy83n2w/installer.log/file

 

Still using the old directory

I thought I was able to change it but from that guide I don't think I understood very well, can you explain to me what I should do? A thousand thanks 

Right-click on the minecraft shortcut on your desktop

At the Target line, go to the end, press space bar and paste

--workDir %ProgramData%\.minecraft

Run Minecraft again, create 1.16.5 profile and run this once

Then reinstall Forge

This is the new log file:

Make a test with another Launcher like AT Launcher and create a forge profile with this one

but in this way if I paid for Minecraft I don't use it? 

You paid for an account - you can use this account with other Launchers - so custom Launchers are just modified Minecraft launchers

okay, I'll try, thanks, I'll let you know 

it works, thank you very much!
