Can't Run/Download forge MINECRAFT 1.8 [closed]

Hello, So I've been trying to download forge for Minecraft 1.8 to get Toggle Sneak/Sprint.

I get it into my downloads.

But when I open it or try to run it. This happens.

And when I save it, then open that one, the same screen pops up.

Isn't it supposed to come up with the regular forge downloader screen?

If anyone could help me fix this problem so I can download and run forge to get toggle sprint that would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Your file extension associations are all messed up, it's trying to open a file intended to be used with your Java executable using Internet Explorer.

what you should do is follow the guidelines set by https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8511063/how-to-run-jar-file-by-double-click-on-windows-7-64

Start "Control Panel"

Click "Default Programs"

Click "Associate a file type or protocol with a specific program"

Double click .jar

Browse C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin\javaw.exe*

Click the button Open

Click the button OK

NOTE: depending on how you installed Java and what version you installed, it might be located somewhere else. The above path is for a default installation of java 7. It appears like you installed Java 8, which will have a different path. If you want to be absolutely sure what path to use, you should do the following:
right-click the Windows button and click on "Command prompt".
enter the following text: Java -verbose
A bunch of text will scroll down. this is normal. at the end of this text is something like [Loaded java.lang.Shutdown$Lock from C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_101\lib\rt.jar]. Java will in this case be installed in C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_101.

This is all assuming you already installed java, obviously. If you haven't installed java yet, do so first. Forge requires Java to run.

Why can I not run Minecraft Forge?

Minecraft Forge not installing on Windows 10 can be due to outdated or corrupted Java software or Windows firewall blocks. Some users might be able to fix Minecraft Forge not installing by reinstalling the required software. Changing firewall settings might help when Minecraft Forge won't install.

How do I fix forge installation error?

Disable your firewall and turn off your antivirus. Check if Windows Defender takes over the role of antivirus/firewall. If so, either disable it or add exceptions for the Forge installation files in Windows Defender settings. After that, check if the Forge installer is clear of the libraries' download failed error.
