Forge installation works?

I keep telling a buddy how to download Forge. After the download, Forge should have a coffee mug symbol, but my buddy simply shows a blank sheet of paper as a symbol instead of a cup… What's the solution?

Ps: we need forge to insert minecraft mods.

Much can be the solution ;-)

Is Java installed? It doesn't sound like that.

He thinks Java is installed

Then he should open CMD and enter java -version there.

Okay thanks let's try

If i had, then my friend was with me with his laptop and he had no java installed that is always the problem when you try it remotely over the phone or discord tell him to download java and even if it is already installed the java installation will say that it can be installed again or something like that

The basic problem is that Minecraft comes with a built-in JRE or this is supplied directly portable. People think then, just because they can play MC, that Java is also installed. But this is usually not the case.

Okay thanks everyone, it worked 👍

Great, I'm glad it worked out
