Im new to forge and have downloaded the latest version of the installer, however whenever I run it all it does is create a 2kb notepad file name "installer" with this inside:

 

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Trampoline must not be defined by the bootstrap classloader

I have tried using the "recommend" installer and just a random older one, which all ran into the same issue.
