Hello, so, recently I was trying to fix my minecraft to be able to play on a server. It got messed up because of windows forcing me to make a new user account and transfer my files over.
Now, when trying to setup forge again...I always get this error from the MC launcher:

Failed to download file. forge-1.12.2-14.23.1.2555.jar
Name: forge-1.12.2-14.23.1.2555.jar
URL: http://files.minecraftforge.net/maven/net/minecraftforge/forge/1.12.2-14.23.1.2555/forge-1.12.2-14.23.1.2555.jar
Error details: HTTP 404: Not Found
Filename on disk: a69a-c350-4e4f-2d91
Path: C:\Users\Blob\AppData\Local\Temp\a69a-c350-4e4f-2d91
Exists: file

and I'm extremely confused on what to do now.

I used forge's installer though

from where...?

all logs that i can find have nothing to do with this

and what i did post is the only thing minecraft's launcher showed me

oh, uh, i found this in the folder where i downloaded the installer
