I installed forge for both aforementioned versions, and a profile for each, and neither will launch. As soon as I hit play, it does a second or 2 of loading, then the button just shows play again, and nothing happens. I cleaned out my mods folder before even trying to launch, so it isn't mods causing the problem. Vanilla Minecraft works fine. I even tried temporarily removing resource packs, and still no luck.
I had absolutely no mods, other than forge itself. And as i previously stated, NO logs have been created anytime within the past month. Unless Windows is flat-out lying about modification dates, but I've never seen it do that...
I have retried several times over the course of the past day or so, and there are no logs. BTW, I don't think it even has a chance to crash. it doesn't even get far enough to crash, probably why it isn't creating logs. It literally is gone within 2 seconds of clicking play. No window comes up at all. Doesn't even make it past the launcher.
Alright, well the game output is completely blank, but there was something of interest in the Launcher log, within the launcher. No files were updated, except launcher_profiles.json, so i guess the log is kept in there for some reason. Anywho, it seems there was a problem accessing Java:

hmm, I checked for any files created or modified at the exact time of launch, and nothing relevant showed up. I don't seem to be getting a FML log.
all crash reports (logs) are in .minecraft/crash-reports. copy everything in the latest text document and put it in a spoiler
insert crash report
He who has not seen all, can not obtain all.
The latest crash report in .minecraft/crash-reports is over a month old. Not relevant.
I had absolutely no mods, other than forge itself. And as i previously stated, NO logs have been created anytime within the past month. Unless Windows is flat-out lying about modification dates, but I've never seen it do that...
