forge installers not working or finding the path to install foge

[901327]

typically I have had no problem with installing forge but recently I've run into a problem. I get the notification while using the installer win.exe that it get the l4j error telling me that the java runtime environment does not exist or is corrupted. I have reinstalled minecraft and java in its latest version and have checked with my cmd to make sure its installed. I have run the versions of minecraft that I am trying to install forge for manually if not once but several times and have installed forge before on 1.7.2 with no problem. I had installed forge for 1.7.10 before using the version 1.7.10-10.13.1.1225 installer and have even used the .1277 installer as well. recently I tried installing the latest installer for forge 1.8 but this did not work and came up with the same error. I also got the same error when trying to install the latest version of the 1.7.10 installer which has already been installed using the old .1225 installer I mentioned earlier. I don't know why it cant find the path with the ones from the site but with the ones I had downloaded previously it worked. if anyone can help me and set up some step by step instructions on how to go about fixing this that would be great

You need the JRE installed OUTSIDE of the one that Minecraft Installs.

You could try tunning the .jar file directly. The .exe is just a wrapper around the jar that tries and fins java for you.

It tries and finds it by looking for JAVA_HOME environment variable. Make sure that's configured correctly.

I had everything configured I actually found a solution online where if I save the installer to somewhere like my desktop then I right click and hit open with and pick java se binary it opens right up idk why but that's what works.
