Cannot get forge 1.16.3 to load

[LunarBase]

I'm not new to forge or minecraft modding, although the last mods I installed were for version 1.10. Ive recently gotten back on my old laptop and got the latest release of Minecraft (1.16.3), and I downloaded the forge installer, then tried to run it in my minecraft launcher. The green bar loads all the way, and then I get this error message:

 

Unable to locate the Java runtime.
Error details: The operation completed successfully.

Filename on disk: javaw.exe
Path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Minecraft\runtime\jre-x64\1.8.0_25\bin\javaw.exe
Exists: Nonexistent

 

What does it mean? What can I do to fix this issue? I have x64.

I think the javaw.exe cannot be found. Trie to reinstall Minecraft or change the Java-Path in the Profile-Editor inside the MC-Launcher to the Java Installation Path.

Minecraft's built-in Java runtime is incomplete, corrupt, or missing... strange.

Delete C:\Program Files (x86)\Minecraft\runtime and run the launcher again
