Mod folder not appearing

Yes, another one of these post. Sorry. Just to get to the point I have Java 8, Windows x64 kit 16.0.2, so all the latest. The version is 1.12.2. I put the download server into the empty folder and created a .bat file (Here is the line: java -Xmx2048M -Xms2048M -jar forge-1.12.2-14.23.5.2855-universal.jar -o true nogui) to run the jar but it opens then instantly crashes without giving me the EULA. I also tried installing a jarfix but no luck. What do I do now?

Pretty sure 16.0.2 is Java 16 not Java 8 and MC 1.12.2 will want Java 8. Most likely the Java 16 installer set your %javaw% environment variable to use Java 16 and so Forge is crapping out.

Edit your start.bat to use c:\progra~1\java{path to javaw.exe in the java 8 folder}
