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! :D

    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.

    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.

    I do Forge for free, however the servers to run it arn't free, so anything is appreciated.

    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.
