Can't install launcher

[仍唔逍遥]

Is there a way to install launcher? When I try, it says

and that's what happen when I choose installer

Also, not only Stellaris, but all other Paradox games seems to be broken. And I tried to delete everything, up to folders in documents and AppData. That didn't work.
Soooo is there a way to install it? Or maybe I shoud clear something in the registry?

Don't bump threads please.


Please try this:

- uninstall Paradox Launcher v2 from the Windows "Apps and features" utility, if still present.

Delete the following folders if still present:

- C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Local/Programs/Paradox Interactive/
- C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Local/Paradox Interactive/
- C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Roaming/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/
To see the AppData folder you'll need to enable View Hidden Items in File Explorer.

- exit the Steam app entirely
- run steam.exe as the Windows Admin user
- run the game from the PLAY button in Steam
OR
- exit the Epic app entirely
- run EpicGamesLauncher.exe as the Windows Admin user
- run the game from the Epic client

IF that doesn't help, in this folder are some .log files:
C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Local/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/
Please attach them here.

As I said in first post, I tried to delete everything, that didn't work.

如果没有帮助，在这个文件夹中有一些 .log 文件：
C:/users/<用户名>/AppData/Local/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/
请附在此处。

是这个吗？

The 1603/1605 errors we see there are typically a previous other installation stuck, or a problem in the Windows update/install processes.

If you see msiexec running in Task manager-processes, kill it and try this launcher install again please.

Otherwise run the Update app in Windows, does it load okay, find anything to apply - whether a patch, update, or whole new Windows 10 version? If so do that and reboot, then try this launcher install again please.

If still no good, do you see Paradox Launcher v2 in the Windows Control Panel to uninstall? If so does it uninstall cleanly, or get an error doing that? You can use this MS tool to fix that, if so:

Good luck!

I reinstalled my computer. The update still failed.
Now the log is like this:

Looks like you've done something odd when installing Steam:

E:\ steam\steamapps\common\Stellaris\launcher-installer-windows.msi

I suspect all those leading spaces before the word Steam cause this new problem. You could try just editing them out, or you may have to remove and reinstall Steam altogether.

Good luck!
