This is for installing Forge API on old versions of Minecraft. It is now out of date as 1.6 allows for a Minecraft Forge "SimpleInstaller."

Windows Installation

 * 1) Pick out the mods you want and download them. Usually, it says what version it is in the name of the download - such as: mod - 1.7.2.jar. The download will be a Zip or Java file.
 * 2) Now you need to download Minecraft Forge, The link will be at the bottom of this post. You need to download the version of Forge that matches the version of the mod. If you download 1.7.2 Forge, you need all 1.7.2 mods.
 * 3) If you haven't already, run regular Minecraft under that version.
 * 4) Run the Forge Client installer.
 * 5) Go to your .minecraft folder. You can get to your .minecraft by clicking the 'Start' button and typing in your search bar '%appdata%' then clicking roaming then clicking .minecraft. For XP users you would use 'run' instead of search.
 * 6) Go to your newly created "mods" folder.
 * 7) Drag your downloaded mods into the folder.
 * 8) Close the folder and open the new version of Minecraft that's called 1.*.*-Forge**.**.*.****. (The * will be replaced with the version numbers)

 * 4) Install the version of Forge, it should extract on its own. It will contain several classes.
