Forge for Minecraft 1.8.1 says I have to run MC 1.8.1 manually first (which I've already done)
I've looked everywhere, and I can't seem to find any way to fix the issue I'm having. I found a version of Forge for 1.8, I downloaded it, but when I tried to run the client, it said I have to run Minecraft 1.8 manually first, which I've already done. Again, I downloaded it and it said the same thing.
Can anyone help?
Important Info (maybe): Minecraft Version: 1.8.1 Launcher Version: 1.6.5
Best Answer
Go into the Minecraft Launcher. Edit your profile and look for [Version Selection] > Use version: And choose for version 1.8. Let it download by clicking play. Close the game and re-run the Forge Installer. It should work now.

Remove your 1.8.1 version of minecraft, it is located usually at: "%appdata%\roaming\.minecraft\versions"
Try re-run forge setup, if it wont work then just use 1.8
