unable to launch

I have tried all the fixes that I could find in here. When I hit play on any of the games, I get a quick dos window then the player freezes and closes w/o any errors.

What antivirus do you have? If defender, just putting pluto to exclusions should work. If any other antivirus, you might have to disable them then try. Also try installing these redists and run dxsetup.exe inside the directx folder. https://drive.google.com/u/0/uc?id=1gG_DXaZfAUETfXaYJzCP36ImvE_bO_x9&export=download
