Hello!
I'm not exactly familiar with computers so I suspect this may be a problem with an easy fix.

I want to install Forge, preferably version 1.16.1, along with Optifine 1.16.1 (this is the version a preferred server currently runs on). I've experimented with trying to download earlier versions as well, however I meet the same problem regardless. I have Java version 8 update 261 (build 1.8.0_261-b12). Each time I attempt to open the .JAR file for the launcher, I'm greeted with this message:

Quote

Unable to install Java

There are errors in the following switches: "C:\Users\[user name]\[folder name]\forge-[version number]-installer.jar";.

Check that the commands are valid and try again.

I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing wrong here, or even what I'm doing in the first place. Could somebody help me? 
Edit: I realized I forgot to add what system I'm using. I'm running on Windows 10 with a 64-bit operating system and x64-based processor. I am also using the x64-bit Java application.

      Modded Minecraft 1.20.1 Crash ("Player" is null error)

      By GreyM7 · Posted

      Struggling to decipher a crash report I'm getting in a custom modpack I'm tinkering with. The crash happens on startup, but weirdly, only some of the time. It seems to be related to Steves Carts, but weirdly it only started happening recently, and I can't identify if another mod is conflicting, or why it is only happening some of the time:   java.lang.NullPointerException: Cannot invoke "net.minecraft.world.entity.player.Player.m_20202_()" because "player" is null at vswe.stevescarts.events.OverlayEventHandler.onRenderTick(OverlayEventHandler.java:24) ~[stevescarts-1.20.1-1.1.14.jar%23527!/:1.20.1-1.1.14] {re:classloading} at net.minecraftforge.eventbus.EventBus.doCastFilter(EventBus.java:260) ~[eventbus-6.0.5.jar%23127!/:?] {} at net.minecraftforge.eventbus.EventBus.lambda$addListener$11(EventBus.java:252) ~[eventbus-6.0.5.jar%23127!/:?] {} at net.minecraftforge.eventbus.EventBus.post(EventBus.java:315) ~[eventbus-6.0.5.jar%23127!/:?] {} at net.minecraftforge.eventbus.EventBus.post(EventBus.java:296) ~[eventbus-6.0.5.jar%23127!/:?] {} at net.minecraftforge.event.ForgeEventFactory.onRenderTickEnd(ForgeEventFactory.java:919) ~[forge-1.20.1-47.1.106-universal.jar%23581!/:?] {re:mixin,re:classloading,pl:mixin:APP:modernfix-forge.mixins.json:perf.potential_spawns_alloc.ForgeEventFactoryMixin,pl:mixin:A} at net.minecraft.client.Minecraft.m_91383_(Minecraft.java:1148) ~[client-1.20.1-20230612.114412-srg.jar%23576!/:?] {re:mixin,pl:accesstransformer:B,xf:fml:xaeroworldmap:xaero_wm_minecraft_runtick,xf:fml:xaeroworldmap:xaero_wm_minecraft_runtick_render_call,xf:fml:xaerominimap:xaero_minecraftclient,xf:fml:xaeroworldmap:xaero_wm_minecraftclient,pl:runtimedistcleaner:A,re:classloading,pl:accesstransformer:B,xf:fml:xaeroworldmap:xaero_wm_minecraft_runtick,xf:fml:xaeroworldmap:xaero_wm_minecraft_runtick_render_call,xf:fml:xaerominimap:xaero_minecraftclient,xf:fml:xaeroworldmap:xaero_wm_minecraftclient,pl:mixin:A,pl:runtimedistcleaner:A} at net.minecraft.client.Minecraft.m_91374_(Minecraft.java:718) ~[client-1.20.1-20230612.114412-srg.jar%23576!/:?] {re:mixin,pl:accesstransformer:B,xf:fml:xaeroworldmap:xaero_wm_minecraft_runtick,xf:fml:xaeroworldmap:xaero_wm_minecraft_runtick_render_call,xf:fml:xaerominimap:xaero_minecraftclient,xf:fml:xaeroworldmap:xaero_wm_minecraftclient,pl:runtimedistcleaner:A,re:classloading,pl:accesstransformer:B,xf:fml:xaeroworldmap:xaero_wm_minecraft_runtick,xf:fml:xaeroworldmap:xaero_wm_minecraft_runtick_render_call,xf:fml:xaerominimap:xaero_minecraftclient,xf:fml:xaeroworldmap:xaero_wm_minecraftclient,pl:mixin:A,pl:runtimedistcleaner:A} at net.minecraft.client.main.Main.main(Main.java:218) ~[minecraft-1.20.1-client.jar:?] {re:mixin,pl:runtimedistcleaner:A,re:classloading,pl:mixin:APP:flywheel.mixins.json:ClientMainMixin,pl:mixin:A,pl:runtimedistcleaner:A}     Including some extra info in case any of it is relevant^.

      Oculus Not Working with embeddium in custom modpack

      Try the JVM argument in this post, just sub xmx/xms numbers for what you want/need allocated.  https://www.reddit.com/r/feedthebeast/s/lzmKUNZFrG I'm having the same issue with a huge modpack using the 3 culprits to your issue.  Let me know if this helps!
