I did the entire thing again, made sure to download the right version of forge 1.12 and remake the mod pack. I reinstalled it and ran it... same result. It just does not run. Forge is definatly 1.12 universal in the modpack (renamed to modpack.zip) https://www.dropbox.com/s/ct8p216v4y2ietj/modpack.zip?dl=0
