I grabbed the 471 build of Forge and the IC2 beta 112, but now I can't install them.

I opened a 1.4.6 MInecraft Serjever.jar and opened it using WINrar, then I opened the Forge zip.

I dragged the files in the Forge zip over and then I got this message:

 

! C:\Users\Peter\Desktop\Spill\Minecraft\Technic-Server\Server\1.4.6\Minecraft_Server.exe: The archive is corrupt

 

I tried reparing the arkive (ALT+R), which normally works but not today!

If I tried to run the server after repairing it I got an error saying that I either need an x86 (32-bits) or x64 (64-bits) WINrar. My Windows 7 is 64 bits and that is what I have on my computer.

 

What do I have to do?

That is not how Forge or Forge-dependent mods are installed. Manually shoveling files into a .jar is barbaric.

 

Try following the Forge Universal installation instructions instead. (I'd link to the wiki, but that thing is a mess.)

 

"Place the universal zip into the same folder where your minecraft_server.jar is, then change the extension of the forge zip to a .jar. Run it."

I tried changing the extension to .jar and running it.

An Java Exception has occurred!

 

What do I do?

I tried looking in the wiki.

That is everything I got. An window saying that "A Java Exception has occurred." The file won't start.

The client works fine.

I place the .zip of forge 471 in a directory where I've got my Minecraft_Server.jar.

After changing the .zip into a .jar and running it I get this message in a standard windows-window: "A Java Exception has occurred."

After that I go here and cry a little.

Holy frak, I did it!

I changed the Minecraft_Server.exe into a .jar, and it worked! Why didn't that stand anywhere?
