Could you expand on this? If you managed to fix it, what was the issue? And what do you mean by "different java setup issue again"?

The path given to --jvm must the one to the jvm executable

Is it solved?

In issue #62, I had a problem with 1.18 and LWJGL. However, the initial issue has recurred with forge:1.8.9

from portablemc.

Okeh here is what I did to solve I use Java8 to install versions lower than 1.16.5. Java16 for 1.16.5 or higher. But Since there is no auto-install in your launcher I need to install Java8 myself. (I'm not sure if it auto install Java8 or not though but it fixed after I specify custom java path to Java8)

Ok, it's actually an issue with the forge add-on, it is currently launching the wrapper using the java command, I will change this to use the auto-installed JVM, or the --jvm argument if present. This will be much easier to use, it's an error I shouldn't have done in the first place :/

Updated forge add-on to v1.0.1 (I don't know if I'm going to release a patch version for the whole launcher, because no mod were made in it).
