If i open the forge installer, it will quickly close.

[Babecido]

I downloaded the newest version of Java. 

If i download the newest release of minecraft Forge, and try to open it, it will close very quickly after i clicked twice on it. 

I really don't know how to fix this..

Can anyone help me?

Use Java 8 with forge, I do not believe it is compatible with newer versions.

The original post has nothing to do with a batch file, you should create your own thread with more information (i.e. contents of said batch file)

If the installer is located in "Downloads" then you must have the command line also pointed at "Downloads".

Show a screenshot of you using the command line and a screenshot of the folder containing the forge jar.

the problem is, the file has spaces in it, so you should use

java -jar "forge-1.15.2-31.1.16-installer (1).jar"

if you dont use it, you requesting:

1. execute program called java
2. call java with first argument: -jar
3. call java with second argument: forge-1.15.2-31.1.16-installer
4. call java with third argument: (1).jar

But you want to:

1. execute program called java
2. call java with first argument: -jar
3. call java with second argument: "forge-1.15.2-31.1.16-installer (1).jar"

Because spaces are used as parameter seperation in general (cmd, powershell, bash, whatever) if a path or filename contains a space or special characters, enclose them with quotes.

 

If you are in the correct folder, you only need to write java -jar "forge- and can press TAB for autocomplete, but dont miss the closing " at the end
