when i first got forge it never worked until i got 1.710 but i wanted to play with newer mods but that does not as other forges don't work they just crash the game and when i download forge it doesn't give me the installation thing that you put install client it just gives me a zip file plz help me i really want to play with other mods p.s i use a macbook pro every time i download it it give me the installer folder i put it into the mc folder where all the other versions are and it just gives me the same crash report. 

  

Having the same problem, I'm a bit of a newb to Forge although I have used it on previous versions.

I updated my sons Minecraft to latest 1.12 on a MacBook Pro, downloaded older MC 1.7.10 version which runs great.

My son wanted to play MC Helicopter MOD so I downloaded Forge 1.7.10, again installed OK.

When I try to launch Forge 1.70.10 I also get the Game Crash screen.

@BenX141 You should really start your own thread instead of hijacking someone else's with a completely different issue. Also, Forge 1.7.10 is no longer supported here, as explained in the EAQ.
