Can't Install Forge (freezes/ stops/ gets stuck)

[Palis Vinti Accordo]

(first post) *Can't install Forge

 

Attempted to install several different versions of Forge including 1.7.10 and 1.8.

~ Double clicking launches the application just fine. Freezes/ gets stuck/ simply stops while 'Unpacking packed file scala-compiler2.11.1.jar.pack.xz'.

 

Attempted to manually run the jar file using LexManos' link in signature

~ Application runs successfully but still the same problem mentioned above.

 

Attempted to add "-Xmx1g" to command string yielding the following results

 

C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator>java -jar forge-1.8-11.14.0.1237-1.8-

installer.jar -Xmx1g
