Hi Everyone! i am having trouble installing Optfine on my new PC its Win 8.1 . When i download Optifine something pops up and says something like f"what would you like to open this file with" and this has never happened to me before so i pressed Minecraft, then it opened MC Launcher and i checked and Optifine wasn't there, so then i pressed "Open with Java Binary" then it said "Unable to install Java there are errors in the following switches
C:\Users\My irl name\Desktop\Optifine_1.8.8_HD_U_F5.Jar" "Check that the commands are valid and try again" so i deleted Java and older versions and reinstalled Java, didn't work. so you can see my delema. Any help would be much appreciated!
Must have done that recently then. I installed optifine about a month ago and it wasn't like that. (Unless there's 2 versions).
Also, you don't need forge to make a mods folder, just click new folder and call it mods.
Optifine has been both an installer and a "mods-folder-mod" for as long as I can remember. If you run the file, it will install an Optifine profile that you can use without Forge. If you put it in the mods folder, it will run alongside Forge as any other mod would. It's been that way for quite a while.

i have Forge but i do not want it on my Forge account. Also, i have never had to do anything like this with my old PC. Also, the launcher hasn't made a new profile.
yes i press Java but it gives me an error after i click it
Make sure Java can completely access your C: Drive or whatever Drive you use. Sometimes, not all files can be downloaded for java and it just fails to work all the time.
To make sure applications have access, right click your folder or drive, head over to security tab, and then edit it and add TrustedInstaller and AllPackageApplications as full control.

Okay, try manually install all there is of java. Clean your registry not just manually, but with some trusted application. Then install offline Java, and see if that helps.

You can install Forge and put the latest version of Optifine 1.8 in the mods folder
or
You can re-install Java, uninstalling any previous versions from your computer, and then open Optifine 1.8.8up with Java.
Not sure where to put your blocks? Same.

Do what VentheDragon suggested, reinstall Java.
This is what it should look like in Windows 8 and 10 when opening a jar file.

Minecraftcrafter24, what exactly does the error message say when you try opening it with Java?
Not sure where to put your blocks? Same.
It says:
Unable to install Java there are errors in the following switches
C:\Users\My irl name\Desktop\Optifine_1.8.8_HD_U_F5.Jar
Check the commands are valid and try again.
