Forge does not fully install.

Ethan Weegee · August 20, 2015

Hi. Thank you for reading.

Short version of the story:

So, I was recently interested in mods. I downloaded Forge to help me with that. However, the first time I installed it, it loaded up and crashed. Today, I thought a reinstall of Minecraft and Forge would fix it. It made it worse. The file is called [glow=red,2,300]forge-1.8-11.14.3.1450-installer-win[/glow]

and I choose Install Client. However it stops and says ran out of memory.

Long version of the story:

I recently had Minecraft on my Windows XP Laptop, however it was extremely laggy. I eventually found a mod fix, leading to my first ever installed mod - OptiFine. It works very well. I (Shortly after) wanted to make a map of an underground base I built on a server. So I wanted a minimap mod to show me what the cave level looks like. So I researched lots of methods to getting mods. I eventually landed on Forge. It would install properly the first time, but it crashed every time. I thought maybe force a reinstall of .minecraft folder entirely, and reinstall . Now I cannot install it. I cannot reinstall. This leaves me at a dead end on my task I have given myself of drawing a map.

Here is the install text file:

I played with command prompt, doing what you told me, and this is what I got every time:

Ethan Weegee · August 21, 2015

So, I tried opening and installing the non windows installer, and it was as if I opened the same one. Same load/download speed. Same interface. Same error. However I think it did advance a little farther this time as oppose to last.

Ethan Weegee · August 21, 2015

ALSO, (I know I'm replying to myself a lot...) I added the installer to my firewall exceptions list, same.

This is what it said word-for-word:

These libraries failed to download. Try again.

org.scala-lang:scala-complier:2.11.1

Out of Memory: Try restarting installer with JVM Argument: -Xmx1G

SanAndreaP · August 21, 2015

Just a few things about the command line I want to tell you, OP:

C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME>C:\Documebts and Settings\USERNAME
\Desktop\java -Xmx2G -jar forge.jar
'C:\Documebts' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

This doesn't work as the command line detects command/program and its parameters with a space in-between.

It'll try to execute the program

C:\Documebts.exe

, (or

.cmd

or

.bat

) with the parameters

and

,

Settings\USERNAME\Desktop\java

and so on.

You can quote the path however, to include spaces:

C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME>"C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Desktop\java" -Xmx2G -jar forge.jar

Also there's something else wrong with it, which I'll show you on another command of yours:

C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME>Desktop\java -Xmx2G -jar forge.jar

This will NOT execute java in Desktop/ but rather tries to execute a java.exe lying on your Desktop. You java is in the

Program Files

folder. A correct Java install lets you do:

C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME>java -Xmx2G -jar forge.jar

C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME>Desktop

If you're trying to change the current command line directory, you do it with the

cd

command:

C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME>cd Desktop

Otherwise, as I've said previously, it'll try to execute

Desktop.exe

(or

.cmd

or

.bat

)

Ethan Weegee · August 21, 2015

What I tried:

-Right click the installer>click Create Shortcut>Right Click Shortcut>Click Properties>Copy ---Target>Paste in Command Prompt

-Same as first, Installer instead of Installer-Win

-Actually playing Minecraft 1.8 (Since I had not downloaded the 1.8 jar file yet)

All failed...

LexManos · August 21, 2015

Go to your desktop

Hold Shift

Right Click

Open Command Prompt Here

Type 'java -Xmx2G -jar forge.jar'

Done.

It should not be this hard to do a basic task like this.

If you need more help go ask the kid down your street or something.

Worst case if you still can't figure it out, you can find the library you are failing to decompress on maven {use google} and download it manually and stick it in the proper place in your libraries folder manually. Heres a hint the maven path is very predictable.

Ethan Weegee · August 22, 2015

When I open it via command prompt(The .jar version), it says; "C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Desktop\Forge.jar is not a valid Win32 application."

This is what happened when I typed in the java -Xmx2G -jar forge.jar into the command prompt, it said;

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

C:\Documents and Settings\Danielle Honig>java -Xmx2G -jar forge.jar

Unable to access jarfile forge.jar

C:\Documents and Settings\Danielle Honig>

Open with Java does the same as it did before.

Ethan Weegee · August 22, 2015

It is named forge.jar.

I get a new error (Different Computer, I am pretty sure when I could install it on the last one, it had the same error.)

splash.properties does not appear. Only forge.cfg and forgeChunkLoading.cfg appears. Which do I alter?

P.S. It isn't old, It is just factory. I have never updated the graphics card. In fact, I have no idea how, and do not want to mess it up, which is why I never mess with updates.

I'll go check for splash.properties on the other computer.

Error on my windows XP (I got it installed! I used the latest version then the windows installer worked...)
