Recently EXE files on my computer has not been working so when i went to install forge to my minecraft it did not work. When i click on the installer it ask me if im sure i want to run it and i click yes. After that nothing happens.
I would like to know if anyone has a way to add the forge files manually so I can play with mods.
EXE files not working? What OS are you using? Try a virus scan, not sure why exe files wouldn't work (if you're using windows anyway). Try the forge installer that doesn't say windows.
Windows 7 64 Bit and Ive done a virus scan with webroot many times. Also its not all EXE files, its just exe files that would install something to my compuer. I can still run games with exe extensions but not installers.

Is the installer service set to automatic? Or maybe it would be better to ask what happens when you try an installer. Does it let you go into it? If there is something wrong with the installer service I believe that it would hang on the actual "install" process.
Also one of the downloads from the Forge website gives me a .rar folder and when i extract it, it gives me folders called argo,com,cpw,joptsimple,META-INF,org. Could i add Forge manually by using those files/folders?

Universal? Not sure if it works the way it used to. You could try.
Pre 1.6 you open \.minecraft\bin\minecraft.jar & delete Meta.inf & then copy the universal files over and then your game is set up for forge. I'm not sure if you can do the same now.
You did try the forge installer that isn't designated to any platform, right?

This is what happens when i try to run an exe installer program (used technic launcer installer in this video)
Looks like maybe the installer service isn't running. Make sure it isn't set to auto, then try to restart your computer & try again.
How do I make sure its not set to auto?

How did it used to work? Ill try it that way.

Just download the Installer and not Installer-Win. As long as you have Java the Jar file will launch like an EXE.

There is no bin folder so could i just create one and copy all the files or would that not work?
I got the forge installer to work by uninstalling and reinstalling java!
Thanks for everyone's help!
