Forge file downloads as a Winrar file

Hello!

Since 1.13 update I am not able to download Forge properly. Usually (for example 1.12) I would have clicked the Windows installer button and the forge file would download normally and it had the anvil icon and I was able to open it and install it. But since 1.13 and now also with 1.14 the Windows Installer button does not exist anymore. I tried downloading it by clicking the Installer button, but when it downloads it becomes a winrar file which you cannot run, I've tried opening it with Java (TM) Platform SE binary but when i run it a black window opens for 1 sec and then disappears. 

If anyone knows how to fix this please help and thank you in advance.

    Ensure you have latest Java 8 installed.

    If WinRar has hijacked the jar file extension (which it has no business of doing, I don't know why people even still use WinRar...), you can use Jarfix to fix it.

    I did what you told me to do and now it works. I had to update my Java. Thank you!
