      ATTENTION Forum Database Breach   03/04/2019

      There has been a breach of our database. Please make sure you change your password (use a password manager, like Lastpass).
      If you used this password anywhere else, change that too! The passwords themselves are stored hashed, but may old accounts still had old, insecure (by today's standards) hashes from back when they where created. This means they can be "cracked" more easily. Other leaked information includes: email, IP, account name.
      I'm trying my best to find out more and keep everyone up to date. Discord (http://invite.gg/TerraFirmaCraft) is the best option for up to date news and questions. I'm sorry for this, but the damage has been done. All I can do is try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

So I went to install the latest version of TFC. When I try to install Forge it says "This directory is missing a launcher profile. Please run the minecraft launcher first." No matter how many times I run the game or the launcher, it still comes up with that message. I know I'm probably doing something facepalmably wrong, but I can't quite find the source of it.

Are you running the correct version of Minecraft? If you are installing Forge for Minecraft 1.7.10, you have to run vanilla Minecraft 1.7.10 at least once.

I have. The correct Forge version is 1.7.10-10.13.2.1272 right?

Correct. Are you using the new vanilla launcher? Did you make sure that everything is installed on the default drive? The vanilla launcher and the forge installer don't like it if you try to install on external drives. On Windows, that means you have to keep everything on the C drive.

I can run 1.7.10 on the new vanilla launcher just fine - there might be something regarding mods and the new launcher that I might have overlooked as I don't know anything much about mod installation (TFC is the first mod I ever installed outside of modpacks)

I have my save files all on C, however I am installing the new TFC in a folder separate from .minecraft, which I assume is the problem's core

Does the launcher have the profile set to save to the default .minecraft directory? I usually set my different profiles to save to their own directories so I can keep my worlds separate, but it's easiest to do that first launch to the default directory and to also point the Forge installer there. I think I ran into your problem because I had already set a new directory for the profile and the Forge installer wasn't finding it.

 

EDIT: You posted while I was typing this and it looks like I may be right!

You always point your forge installer at .minecraft no matter where you set your save directory. The save directories do not contain the Minecraft jar. Just saves, resource packs, mod and config folders (if launched with forge) and other stuff. Once forge has installed, create a new instance, select forge you want in version drop down menu, choose save directory and launch. Shut down, go to the save diectory, drop mods into the now present mod folder and relaunch.
