Hey guys, I just have a hopefully simple issue to solve with beginning the installation process. Whenever I try to download the installer, it downloads with internet explorer. I have installed JAVA onto my computer, but when I hover over the "open with" option for the installer file, JAVA is not an option. It has not changed after everything I have tried, and admittedly I am not great with computers so I could not think of much to do, but all I am asking for is some help. Please.

Where did you get Java from?

Can you provide a screenshot of what the installer looks like?

This is my Forum Signature, I am currently attempting to transform it into a small guide for fixing easier issues using spoiler blocks to keep things tidy.

 

As the most common issue I feel I should put this outside the main bulk:

The only official source for Forge is https://files.minecraftforge.net, and the only site I trust for getting mods is CurseForge.

If you use any site other than these, please take a look at the StopModReposts project and install their browser extension, I would also advise running a virus scan.

 

For players asking for assistance with Forge please expand the spoiler below and read the appropriate section(s) in its/their entirety.

Open a command prompt/terminal and run the command java -version, tell me what it says.

It comes up with this anvil and three options to extract, server, and something else with a box that has a file directory in it and mentions “roaming” as well as has a button with an ellipsis next to the file directory box

You're not installing a launcher, you're installing Forge on the client side, so which option do you think you should select?

All right, I think it worked. I have a furnace icon next to (1.14.4-forge-28.0.45) under the play button for my Minecraft launcher. Now I just have to figure out how to install mods

Hey, so I'm currently having the same problem but when I download Jarfix then re-download the forge client the Icon is still internet explorer and when I open it, it says to save and open but when I do it repeats that process.

Did you actually execute jarfix, or just download it? It must be executed in order to apply the fix.

And are you sure you have java? If you open a command window, and type java -version does it say something?

 

Also, instead of posting on a thread over a year old, you should create a new thread, your issue could be different even though it looks the same.
