thanks I really appreciate all this help. now I have downloaded java 7 but I have never ran java b4.

I tried placing the program in java through java run time environments is that how you would do this?

1.Download the file attached to the beta release thread.
2. Extract the contents into a directory.
3. Double-click the launcher script for your computer's OS.

trying

You should install the appropriate Java 7 JRE for you computer's OS.

Then launch forge via the appropriate launcher for you computer's OS.

Check that java is installed correctly. Open a command prompt and typing "java -version" shold produce something like -

Code: Select all

C:\> java -version
java version "1.7.0_21"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_21-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.21-b01, mixed mode)


The version needs to be "1.7.x".

Cheers,
Steve

okay so i took my time and figured this out i have forge extracted and on my desktop as .exe and i have java

now when i type in java version into the command prompt its says its not and external or internal command and is not a operable program or batch file.

once again thanks for all the help guys

at this point it prompts to run the program and ask for permission but doesnt really run

Sounds like you need to add java to your Windows path -

• Open Control Panel -> Java (if there is no Java option, re-install Java).
• Click on the Java tab and click the View... button.
• Does it say 1.7 under the Platform heading? No, then re-install Java.
• Make a note of the full path to the "\bin" folder. Ignore the exe name.
• Open a command prompt at the java "\bin" location and type "java -version". Ensure it is version 1.7 something. If not, re-install Java.
• Now open Control Panel -> System.
• Click Advanced Settings on the left hand column.
• Click the Advanced tab.
• Click Environment Variables.
• In the lower System Variables list, scroll down to PATH, select and press Edit.
  Be careful do not delete the existing value
• Move the cursor to the end of the text in the Variable value field.
• Add a semicolon to the end if one does not already exist.
• Add the full path to the java "bin" directory you made a note of earlier to the end (make sure it is preceeded by a semi-colon).
• Click Ok, Ok, Ok.
  (you might have to reboot but try without first).
• Open a new command prompt at C:\
• Type "java -version". You should see java version info displayed. If not reboot, and restart from this step. If it still does not work, copy all the output from command prompt and post here.
• Now you can try running the forge exe.
• If this does not work, open a command prompt at the folder containing the "forge..jar-with-dependencies" file.
• Run "java -jar <name of jar file>.jar"
• If it falls over, copy all the output and post here.

Cheers,
Steve
