PDXLAUN-4147
Thank you, I'm adding this thread to the bug report on the problem now.
Thanks for that, I'll pass it on to other affected users and see if it helps them all. And to the launcher devs.New Win11 machine here, also had this error with another installer before the Paradox Launcher.
I found a solution online for this error in a Steam Deck thread on Reddit:
go to your Windows settings, the Apps tab, Optional features, Add a feature called "Graphics tools" (find it in a list, "tick" the box and confirm) - it will take a moment to download and install (the terms may be slightly different, I'm back-translating from a non-English Windows UI), then restart the system for good measure and try the Launcher installer again; if you're on an N release of Windows (10N or 11N), also add Media Feature Pack, you might run into problems without it on a regular basis
This is to see if it only affects certain Windows builds.DXDIAG is a program you run from the Windows search box on the task bar. After running it will open a window and start collecting info with a progress bar in the lower-left corner. When it completes click the 'save all information' button and save it to a file then attach that file here.
Sorry but I just run into the same problem - new Windows 11 Pro 64-bit could not install Paradox Launcher v2. It's disappointing that the solutions mentioned here did not help. I hope the logs could help you deal with the problem.A new launcher just came out 2023.2.1 - does that help anyone affected?
If not then we'll need to wait for a further fix, I'm sorry.
Could you please do the following? It will generate a debug log that the launcher team can use to "deep dive" into what actually happens with the launcher.Sorry but I just run into the same problem - new Windows 11 Pro 64-bit could not install Paradox Launcher v2.

This also helped me, new windows 11 installDoing the latest VC++ runtimes solved it for me.
Thank you, I couldn't find the media pack but the graphics tool in optional features seemed to be all that was needed for my Windows 11 Home prebuilt.Media pack and Graphics tool solved my issue. Clean install after new pc on windows 11 PRO N version ( eu )
Worked without doing anything else. dism and sfc are useless in this case.
EDIT. The version STEAM launched was with 2020 , it worked. I updated the launcher to a 2023 version, works aswell. So it was windows N issue
