I've followed the instructions on this site for downloading and installing minecraft forge version 1.7.9 but when Java tries to install the files I get an error that I "need to run version 1.7.2 manually at least once." What does this mean, I've opened and played the game several times.

Are you installing the mods to a separate profile? Forge needs a place to put the java files, so unless you're modding an existing profile (bad idea), that place doesn't exist yet.– MBraedleyJun 18, 2014 at 12:03

When installing forge you need to run the version that you are modding first and THEN install forge. So if I am going to mod 1.7.2 I would first run it normally and THEN install forge.
Run 1.7.2 at least once before you install it.
