So I'm trying to install a Forge Minecraft server for me and my friends. Whenever the installer GUI pops up I cant select anything. I've tried reinstalling Java but nothing helps. Any ideas?

Please provide a screenshot of the installer

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.

Please provide the installer log

It will be in the same place as the installer and either have the same name but with ".log" on the end, or be called installer.log

I've never heard of this issue and the log isn't very enlightening.

You can still navigate using Tab and Arrow keys, right?

Yes, I can navigate with no problem using them but just by using them I cant select "install server" or extract. It just skips over them.

I'm able to select them just fine, but I have a different OS and Java version than you.

 

Try the latest Java 8 Hotspot from AdoptOpenJDK.

Note: You may need to uninstall Oracle Java for your computer to properly choose the AdoptOpenJDK version.

Still nothing. I think I might just upgrade to windows 10 and see if it solves it. I'm just using this as a server PC so Ill update the thread if it works.

Solved! I was just a Windows 7 thing. Now with Windows 10 It has solved the issue.
