Unable to detect the forge installer about polymc HOT 5 CLOSED

Have you already tried this?

ok that seems to have fixed it for now, but curious as to why I had to do that. as an end user I should never have to touch anything in the appdata folder (messing with that folder can severly cripple a windows install). one thing that wierdly was working in the meantime, was editing the instance and bumping the installed forge sub version up to the next release which was tedius so why I posted the issue.

Forge recently updated all of their installers, causing a hash mismatch. The launcher has weird caching so that's why you had to delete the folder.

that makes no sense to me as it was happening in older versions like 1.19, 1.18 even, so them updating their launcher should not have affected ones that old imo. but anyhow thanks for the fix.

Forge updated all of their installers, as in they replaced the files for every forge installer since around 1.16 iirc, so all of those had mismatches.
