my son wants to get mods, so we are trying to download forge. however when we try to do so, it gives an error message stating "the directory is missing a launcher profile - please run the minecraft launcher first" so we have gone into minecraft and from what i see the launcher is already set up..... help!!!! and please realize that i am not the most computer savvy person, so please be as clear and specific as possible! thanks!!!
Basically create new profile and for the version pick the one you want to use mods in. For example if you downloaded forge for 1.7.10 then you create profile in the launcher, choose 1.7.10 version and run it. Exit Minecraft, run Forge installer and install it.
Then go and edit profile but now in the dropdown change version to 1.7.10 Forge x.x.... whatever you installed.
