Can't download Forge client

[KingRaj4826]

Hello there!

 

I am fairly new to modded Minecraft, and I wanted to try out some mods, so I figured that I could just download the latest version of Forge (version 1.16.4 - 35.1.0). I was able to download the installer from the site and run it, but when I clicked 'OK' from the install menu nothing happens, except for a window that flashes for a brief second before disappearing. 

 

Does anybody know why this is happening, and what I can do to fix it?

 

In case it helps, I have attached a screenshot of the window that pops up for a split second before closing itself.

Please post the log file that is generated by the installer.

For some reason I can't find any log file related to this. Do you know where to check for one?

It should be generated right next to the installer.

Nothing is generated.

Run the installer from the command line and post the output.

That made it install properly. Thank you for the help!
