"Could Not Create the Java Virtual Machine"

Hey,

I recently did a cleanup of old java versions (I uninstalled Java 7 Update 54) and whenever I try to launch any version of forge, I get: Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine. The java command works from the console. I'm attempting to run Forge 10.12.0.997 with Java 7 Update 55. I cannot run forge from the MC Launcher or via the Technic or FTB Launchers, but the launchers themselves load correctly.

 

Thanks!

    This isn't building better software, its trying to grab a place in the commit list of a highly visible github project.
