Brand new 1.4.7 with the download for forge 6.6.0.497 + no mods = blackscreen

[kamyk2000]

I backed up (moved elsewhere) my .minecraft (1.4.5 ) folder, so am installing minecraft 1.4.7.exe fresh with no .minecraft folder under %application data%.  It installs and runs without a hitch.  I open minecraft.jar in /bin and delete meta-inf then add the contents of forge 6.6.0.497.  I get the forge downloading stuff screen, the mojang screen then black screen hang.  I have tried a fresh minecraft install using magiclauncher instead, same result.  There are 0 mods other than forge involved.

 

I noted an oddity.  In the forge download file I got from here there is a file called _aux.class not aux.class, _aux.class.  Is that inccorrect as I see an aux.class file in my minecraft.jar but no _aux.class.  Also the log says that my forge is Forge Mod Loader version 4.7.4.520 for Minecraft 1.4.7.  I can assure you I downloaded the link for forge 6.6.0.497.  The log also says no mcmod.info and a previous log said something about a missing .class file that was one of the ones starting with H (can't recall which one) but it was present in the forge download zip.

 

Here is my last log file.

[luacs1998]

Update Forge, 497 is really outdated.

[LexManos]

Aside from that, the error is saying that you've not installed all of Forge's files properly or something during installation has corrupted the jg class.

I'd suggest trying a different archive tool, such as 7zip or a launcher like MagicLuancher/MultiMC.

[kamyk2000]

That is exactly what I use is 7zip and magiclauncher.  My error log was immediately after trying with magiclauncher. 

 

It is irrelevant for me now though as I got version 6.6.0.5.1.8 working. 

 

Edit: I would like to point out however that in the releases section both the latest forge version thread and the minecraft 1.4.7 thread directly below it point to 6.6.0.497 as the latest recommended version.  So finding a later version wasn't obvious.

[LexManos]

thats because it is the recomended version we havent bumped it because there are dev features in the newer versions.

Thats why was have 'Lastest' and 'Recomended', two different things.
