Minecraft: Forge won't install, I click installation file, nothing happens

[Planr]

I've been having problems lately with my Minecraft installation where I was getting extreme lag doing the simplest tasks, so I've been trying to reinstall all my mods and forge itself. I already deleted and uninstalled forge from my computer and my minecraft installation, but for some reason when I try to run the installation file I downloaded from the forge website to run it again, it won't run. Neither the .msi or .jar will work, all that happens when I click on them is the mouse cursor displays the "working" symbol then stops and nothing further happens.

What is wrong with my computer? Why won't forge install? I need help bad.

YOU DOWNLOADED FORGE BUT IT WON'T INSTALL
Double-click the file to open the installer - a box should pop up with the option to 'install client'. If that doesn't happen, or you click install client and it doesn't work, try another version from the downloads page (try Latest instead of Recommended, or the one that says Universal).

That's literally the first page I went to when I noticed I was having a problem.

I solved the problem by reinstalling Java. My java installation was outta whack.

Yeah, this usually is the case. Java often likes stuffting the bed and most issues are just caused by your java installation.
