It does not start Paradox Launcher v2

[scp41]

Paradox Launcher v2 when running as an administrator, the program starts, but the launcher does not see the purchased games, and after running not as an administrator, the program does not want to start, the Paradox Launcher v2 appears and disappears in the task manager.

You must have run the launcher from the desktop shortcut or Paradox launcher.exe, which is a standalone mode for users who do not want to run Steam. It does need a separate game installation if used that way, but this game was never ported to that platform.

You'll need to run it from the PLAY button in your Steam Library instead.

All the best!

I transferred the game to a USB flash drive, then I drowned it on a PC where Paradox Launcher v2 worked

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

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.
To see the AppData folder you'll need to enable View Hidden Items in File Explorer.

Note that you can run hoi4.exe directly from File Explorer, which bypasses the launcher.
