forge wont open please help

[minecraft forge question]

so i downloaded forge but when i click on it to install it wont open any ideas on what programs  i should use? adobe wont work i downloaded bitzipper doesnt work either. please any help i would appreciate thanks

[coolboy4531]

I'm assuming you downloaded the installer?

 

It's a jar file, it uses Java.

Update your java version, please.

[minecraft forge question]

thank you so much i will try it now

[luacs1998]

If you're using windows you can download the installer-exe version and run it normally. Windows will warn about digital signatures, run anyway.

[minecraft forge question]

i guess i will try the exe version because everytime i try using java it redirects me to enable java runtime something....so frustrating. any idea where to get the link for the exe ?

sorry for all the questions but im a mom trying to do this for her son and i am clueless and frustrated at this point

[luacs1998]

1) No sob stories

2) Next time, look on the file server. http://adf.ly/673885/http://files.minecraftforge.net/maven/net/minecraftforge/forge/1.7.2-10.12.0.1025/forge-1.7.2-10.12.0.1025-installer-win.exe

[minecraft forge question]

btw ...its the 1.6.4 version if that matters

 

[luacs1998]

Oh that. Please read the EAQ available in the support section.

[minecraft forge question]

luacs!! im so excited....this is the farthest ive ever gotten trying to do this.  i followed the link you gave and downloaded forge sucessfully! however...my son tried to use it and it said game crashed... is there anything else i can do? if it matters he is trying to use a pixelmon...

[luacs1998]

It looks like pixelmod has not been updated for Forge 1.7.2 from the looks of your log:

I'd check the forums on minecraftforum.com and see what it's current status is.

[minecraft forge question]

Thank you for your help, do you by chance have a link or know where I could get forge 1.6.4 that actually opens when you download it?  I had it downloaded but it was a jar file and I couldnt get it open at all....thats what started this post to begin with.  Then Luacs gave me a great link for forge 1.7.2 that worked awesome, but now im finding out its not compatible with pixelmon...

I will also check the forums...

thank you!!
