On the whole, this is essentially a distillation of many different googled solutions, each a credit to their own authors. Previous installations had just the Minecraft server file and forge server file, but now I cant seem to locate the file. If all else fails, restore your old.minecraft files/folders to their original names and keep playing while searching for a better solution.

when downloaded the program right click Minecraft.jar, select open with, select winrar, and there you go.
