So, as the title says I need help Installing 1.42 IC2 for SSP. I'm using Vanilla Minecraft and I've spent the past two hours scouring the Support section and followed the tutorial to the letter. First, I Forced Updated; second, I deleted the Meta-Inf folder, then added the prerequisite mods (Modloader 1.0, modloaderMP 1.0.0 and Minecraft Forge Client V1.2.2). After that i retrived the .jar from the site and added it to the mods folderas instructed. but as i try to log into minecraft it gets to the "mojang" splash screen and then crashes. Then I added the Audio Mod and I got the same result. I've went over this process multiple times, so any help would be greatly appreciated even if its a facepalmably simple issue.

Support Request: IC2 1.42 Installation Rage. [SOLVED]

Give us the ModLoader.txt information. That will likely help.

I don't see how you can understand any of this. You all must be tech gods or something.</init> -
Try installing Forge again. "ISidedInventory" is from Forge.

It worked! thanks guys, me being my stupid self accidentally unzipped the forge folder into my downloads folder and didnt notice. so all i copied into the jar was the forge folder and not all of the other classes. As i said, it's that facepalmingly simple stupid things I miss. sorry for the inconvenience guys. *
