Forge installer will not launch.

The installer for forge will not open for me (any attempt has resulted in nothing happening). Here's what I've tried.

  • double clicking on jar file (no black box)
  • making sure forge version matches Minecraft version (forge-1.16.1-32.0.70-launcher with MC ver. 1.16.1)
  • using jarfix
  • downloading proper version of some JRE for Java SE (I watched a few different videos and scoured some old threads, not a techie so here's what I downloaded and executed: jre-8u261-windows-x64)
  • opening the installer file with command prompt
  • emptying my mods folder
  • restarting my computer

I do apologize if I'm missing something. I'm not great with computers.

I would but the command prompt seems to "reject" any command starting with java. Below is the prompt I used, but nothing happens (no error, no black box). I have the latest update for java, which is strange.

 

java -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -jar forge-1.16.1-32.0.70-launcher
