[Qu1ck808]

Dss0 Ok .NETFramework.exe says it wont run on my PC.

btw thanks for helping me out

[Dss0]

Qu1ck808 which version of windows are you on?

[Qu1ck808]

Dss0 10 Windows 10 home

[Dss0]

Qu1ck808 well the launcher starts right? so .net should be fine. Strange that it says that tho, are you maybe using the very first version of win10 (1503)? If yes i would strongly advise upgrading to 1607 or later.

[Qu1ck808]

Dss0 how do i check that

[Dss0]

Qu1ck808 open the start menu and search for "cmd". Open cmd and run the command

winver

[Qu1ck808]

Dss0 Ok it says "Version 2004 (OS Build 19041.508)

[Dss0]

Qu1ck808 ok that's fine. so:

• install all other redist's
• install directx
• run the launcher as admin

If it still doesn't work after that post a screenshot of your defender exclusion settings.

[Qu1ck808]

Dss0 Ok. So I followed those steps you laid out restarted my computer and the same problem occurred Plutonium launcher just closes no notification...

[Qu1ck808]

Dss0

Here are my redist files

[Acrillx]

Ok try disabling you anti virus thingy and then try launching it and see if it works thats what i did and then it worked fine

[Dss0]

Qu1ck808 try also exluding plutonium.exe (should be in your game folder). If it still doesn't work try this aswell:

• go to windows security -> app & browser control -> exploit protection -> exploit protection settings
• turn off "randomize memory allocations (Bottom-up ASLR)"

[Qu1ck808]

Acrillx Isn't that what the exclusion is supposed to do?

[Acrillx]

Sometimes that doesnt work just try it out it might work for you Qu1ck808

[Qu1ck808]

Dss0 Ok. I did that and same problem. Acrillx said I should just turn off windows defender might as well give that a go do you know how I can do that?

[Acrillx]

Not sure i had trouble finding out myself look it up Qu1ck808

[Dss0]

Qu1ck808 google it. shouldn't be necessary tho. Can you open event viewer (search for event viewer in the start menu) then go to windows logs -> application and see if you can find anything related to the launcher, if yes post a screenshot of the event details.
