Hello, I've been trying to get forge to work so that I can try to make some mods, however, for a few days now,

I've been stuck at the "Once you have a command window up in the folder that the downloaded material was placed, type gradlew.bat setupDecompWorkspace --refresh-dependencies" stage, whenever I try to do this step, I get :

 

The system could not find the path specified

Error: Could not find or load main class org.graddle.wrapper.GraddleWrapperMain

 

I have been able to get this sort of thing to work before forge used graddle, so there's a chance I'm doing something wrong when it comes to graddle, but I've followed this http://www.minecraftforge.net/wiki/Installation/Source tutorial to the letter.

 

If I've posted this to the wrong place, I'm sorry, I've just been so frustrated trying to get this to work.

 

EDIT:

 

I have searched around some more, and it occured to me that I might need to install gradle, I don't know enough about gradle to know if it even needs to be installed, or has an installer in the first place, but it might solve the "System could not find the path specified" issue, which could also fix the proceeding error.

 

If this is what I must do, please inform me.

Download the source. Extract it. Open up the folder where you extracted it (the forge folder). You should see some files like build.gradle and gradlew.bat. Shift-right click in that window and choose Open Command Window Here. Then type gradlew.bat setupDecompWorkspace. It should work. (Then, if your using Eclipse, run gradlew.bat eclipse)

As I stated above, I've already gone through those steps, and tried the command line to execute the gradlew.bat setupDecompWorkspace.

Ok, strange thing, I've gotten it to work, by just doing everything in the downloads folder, any reason why this works?

You've obviously done something differently without even realizing it.

Not necessarily, gradle doesn't work correctly in my drop box folder, could be something similar.
