Forge 1.8.8 Scala Compiler Error - Please Help

[MmastermangoM]

Ok, so I have tried multiple times to download forge for 1.8.8, but whenever the installer tries to install forge I get the error shown in the picture. Any help on this matter would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Why on earth would you use 1.8.8? If you must use 1.8.x, use 1.8.9, but really you should update.

Make sure your internet connection is working.

Yea, I tried to install the 1.8.9 version, and my internet is working but it doesn't work.

Extract this to your .minecraft folder: http://files.minecraftforge.net/libraries.zip

Where is my .minecraft folder?

Are you fucking kidding me, @diesieben07 can you do me a favor and write up a idiot proof explination for how to extract that file to the .minecraft folder? I'm going to be re-working the installer to stop shipping scala and or now this will be the install process. Until we can write a auto-extractor.

Is that incomplete? I don't understand it other than to download the .jar version

If you had to extract it some place special I would of said that, but I said in your .minecraft dir so .. the root of it... Its kinda like I gave you all the information you needed, But good thing you figured that out.
