trying to launch Plutonium and getting a bootstrapper error.
-
Instead of saying "an error" show the error.
Errors are there to describe the issue -
-
ali13736 most likely your AV blocking it https://plutonium.pw/docs/antivirus/
-
Dss0 my AV has an exception. it is not my antivirus.

ali13736 post a screenshot of the exclusion settings.

ali13736 What AV are you using?
This article might help you https://plutonium.pw/docs/antivirus/If you are using Web Root/McAfee/Bullguard we recommend to flat out uninstall them.
Why? Simply put: Disabling it or allowing exclusions will not allow Plutonium to function still (that's how bad those antiviruses are)
If you have Defender and other AV that does not flag Plutonium, I recommend you to deactivate Defender using DefenderControl.

@velja_zmai,
If you have McAffe I've found that putting "plutonium-bootstrapper-win32.exe" in the excluded files helps remedy the error. -
Billman_22 not quite sure on that one, since I've personally never used it, but always got it bundled with Opera Installer (lmao). Kaspersky still rocks, it does not false flag it.

or, if you don't feel like having Avast, flat out uninstall it.
