Forge Fails to Install upon Minecraft Startup

[redria7]

I am trying to install Forge initially to be able to install a mod. I cleared all of my minecraft data and started up the launcher to download a fresh new minecraft.jar file. I opened the jar, copied over the contents of the forge zip file, deleted META-INF, and started up minecraft. It proceeded through its normal loading screen and entered into vanilla minecraft. No extra folders were added anywhere in the minecraft appdata directory. Forge is not displayed anywhere on the minecraft title screen. Nothing changed when I ran the launcher.

What could I be doing wrong? I followed a video step by step.

HAPPENED THE SAME TO ME!!

(small bump)

I am using the recommended version of Forge and the latest version of Minecraft in case anyone ignored this post since I didn't specify. I did word for word the instructions given on at least 5 different tutorials (all of which were exactly the same) and mine (or ours) seems to be the only one not working. There are no actual errors so I don't even think there's an error log I can post.

 

Are there any common mistakes that might give us this result?

We need your ForgeModLoader-client-0.log

For mc 1.5.2 and for bug report, use the latest build, not the recommended, it is written in big and red letters on the site :

!!!MAKE CERTAIN THAT YOU ARE RUNNING THE *LATEST* FORGE BEFORE SUBMITTING ANY BUGS!!!

You can download the latest build here :

http://adf.ly/673885/http://files.minecraftforge.net/minecraftforge/minecraftforge-universal-latest.zip

 

Installation :

- Open minecraft.jar and remove META-INF

- Place all folder and files of forge-universal on your minecraft.jar

Forge include a new META-INF, don't remove it

Happened to me as well. I was installing the latest Forge build into a virgin 1.5.2 jar. (Yes, I deleted the original META-INF folder, this isn't my first modding rodeo.) 

 

Installed Forge and booted Minecraft. Was working for a bit then suddenly...

Please let me know what I can do to resolve this. Thanks!

Read the EAQ.

Yeah, I tried this too. Looking back at the links again, the second link for 1.5+ is wrong (on EAQ).

And it works! Thanks!
