   Tin can't Open up Wizard101 Launcher

   I tried opening the Wizard101 launcher this morning and only got the following message:
   "Unable to launch game. Delight download and run the Wizard101 installer again."
   I did as instructed and reinstalled the game, merely the outcome all the same persists. I even factory reset my computer and installed the game again, but I still go the same pop upwards message. Does anyone know a fix for this?

   At that place'south so many missing components that could be causing this, that you lot'll probably cease upwards trying quite a few things before yous get it working over again.

   Simply I can tell you what KI back up will accept you try starting time.
   They'll ship you a link to the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86), and have you download and reinstall information technology. You can get ahead and try that now. Do a Google search for that exact phrase in assuming, and click the get-go website at the summit of the search results. Make certain that it says www[dot]microsoft[dot]com in your URL bar, and then click the orangish download button.

   Once it's finished downloading, run the installer; in case you have trouble finding it in your downloads folder, it will exist named vcredist_x86.exe. Later on the install finishes, restart your calculator, then effort launching the game once again.

   Information technology's hit or miss whether that's your actual problem, but KI loves telling people to try that first, and so requite it a shot.

   As well, this is a shot in the dark, only it often solves all sorts of bizarre errors. Instead of double-clicking the Wizard101 icon on your desktop to run the game, correct click on the icon and click Run as Administrator.

   Had no idea that'south what KI leads off of (and so again I barely contact them). Some great troubleshooting tips right there. I guess when in incertitude, endeavour reinstalling a Windows Microsoft package again (for Windows Os anyways). In a few cases at that place are some programs and updates that, when installing, may miss some fundamental components or non install correctly (I'thousand looking at you, Windows 10 >.>). Running stuff equally an administrator is also a great way to solve a whole slew of problems for getting software to piece of work.

   Thanks for informing all of usa and for the helpful suggestions!

   It seems I got ahead of myself. The issue was just partially fixed. Information technology just runs smoothly for ane log in, if I logout I tin can't login again if I don't reinstall the game. And then rinse and repeat. And then it works, but I can't dual box and every time I want to login I have to reinstall the game.

    Try running the installer as administrator. Something is either not getting installed permanently, or it's getting corrupted during runtime.
