Hey guys, I need a little help. So when I try to run a .jar file it does not work.

To run a jar file, you usually have to add Java to your CLASSPATH.
Goofle a tutorial on it.

You can. Just have the base Java Runtime Environment installed and provided the .jar was packaged correctly, you can run it as an application but double clicking the file.
Note, it HAS to be packaged correctly. Not all .jars are applications.

Mojam is fond of releasing their games in this form.

You can. That's the way you install Forge.

@OP, try uninstalling Java and removing all of it's folders and then re-installing it. That's what fixed it for me.
