For some reason, the forge installer can't find or create the libraries it needs to start the installation. Hoping to get suggestions on how to fix it from here. I've already tried deleting progressively the mods folder, libraries folder, and .minecraft entirely with a redownload of 1.15.2 for each. I've also tried uninstalling and redownloading Java multiple times with computer restarts. Log file has the exact same results regardless.

Have you tried uninstalling every single version of Java and then reinstalling, or were you reinstalling one at a time?

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.

If you open the log and try to access the URLs directly do they work?

`Oracle Corporation - 1.8.0_251` Should have the LetsEncrypt's cert. However it appears it does not.

I would advise you move away from Oracle's distributions and use https://adoptopenjdk.net/

Anything above 1.8u201 should work.

I do Forge for free, however the servers to run it arn't free, so anything is appreciated.

So prior to a computer restart, the JDK ended up with roughly the same result, but with every section that lists as '... xx more' having the number ticked up by two. After a restart, it was ticked down by one compared to the Oracle installation attempts. I cannot give the log file though due to the JDK not writing to it, unless there is a file path I can be given to look for it at. Here are screenshots instead of what it looks like.

It will have the same name as the installer but with .log on the end:

Installer: forge-{version}-installer.jar

Log: forge-{version}-installer.jar.log

 

Note: If you have Windows Explorer set to hide file extensions(as is the default setting), they will look like this:

Installer: forge-{version}-installer

Log: forge-{version}-installer.jar

I have 8u252 from that site and it writes the log just fine for me.

If there's seriously no log then append this to the command:

1> forge_installer.log 2>&1

Oh right you were double clicking the thing, not using java -jar... so this will be the full command to run in cmd in the same folder as the installer:

java -jar <Forge Installer Name> 1> forge_installer.log 2>&1

Ok... at this point remove every version of Java you have and check program files for any versions of Java that might not have uninstalled correctly, see anything?

The only things I can find are the left over folders here and there, and the .msi file for 8u251 64-bit. However nothing shows up after uninstalling everything in the apps list. The only thing I can think of would be the fact that I had to run the microsoft troubleshooter to get 8u111 uninstalled fully while I was trying to fix it before opening this thread. The only place it shows up anymore is on my anti-virus program's update list, which it can't update since it shouldn't exist on my system.

Okay so I had an idea pop in my head and it worked

As seems to always be the case, it was my antivirus blocking stuff in a weird manner. Even though for some odd reason disabling it entirely didn't work, my work around I've used in the past seems to have done it and the connections went through. Thanks for all the help though, and sorry for putting you guys through this headache.

And for the future, make sure to have anybody using Kaspersky Antivirus to go through the Firewall application settings, find both Java/OpenJDK and the .jar file in question, and turn on the "Do not scan all traffic" setting in the exclusions tab.
