Launcher trouble

[wolfshenanigans]

Hi, I'm having trouble with the paradox launcher. When I try to run a game from steam, I get an error message prompting me to reinstall the Paradox launcher. If I say no, it tells me that bootstrapper-v2.exe requires elevation. If I say yes, it starts to reinstall and almost immediately gives the same error. I've tried fully uninstalling the launcher, restarting my computer, running as administrator, and a number of other solutions I found on other threads, but I haven't had any luck with it.

Please try this:

- exit the Steam app entirely
- 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.

- 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.
