I cannot download MCreator's newest version. I tried updating from the official page on Windows 11 with the exe installer. I tried using Administrator mode, pressing ignore 20 times, etc.. Now, my MCreator app is broken and I cannot open it.
Anybody's help would be greatly appreciated.

What do you mean with can't download? Where does the problem start and how does it look?
Here is it step by step (sorry that I took forever to respond, you were really quick):
1. I download the installer from MCreator.net.
2. I run it
3. I click yes: I want to uninstall previous version.
4. It says welcome to the MCreator Uninstallation. I click next (yes I want to keep settings, recent workspaces lists, etc.).
5. It finishes and pops up the welcome to the new version setup. I click next, I agree to the License Agreement.
6. I click install. It returns the following message for about 30 different files:
I've tried pressing every option, here is what each does:
I spammed the ignore button and now my entire MCreator is not working. I have tried everything I can think of to make it work again: installing an older version, running mcreator.exe without a shortcut and with administrator, deleting most mcreator files and retrying to install it, etc.. Please help me. I think I am having exactly the same problem with Modrinth (I think) so I switched to a different 3rd party loader. It was also while downloading a new version. I contacted their support team and they had no idea.
Thank you for your help - ABelly99
It kind of just started working somehow, thanks!
dude :(
now I got this problem
Alright I fixed it, to anyone in the future that needs help, i tried deleting the mcreator file with all the jdk stuff and plugins in it too. In order to do that I realized that there was a java process in the background(using the task manager) and ended it. After that I used the mcreator installer/deinstaller and It worked again.
I don't know which of these two things(ending the java task or the file deleting) fixed it. But good luck dudes!
