Re: [forge-users] forge-distribution-2.3.0.Final-offline.zip hangs up on startup

That worked. However, in the interim between my question and your response, I also had ran the "forge -- install core" command against the unzipped folder. That process must have installed a critical missing component in my local repository because now the offline version works ok (whether I start forge from with the bin subfolder or from within the forge folder).
