"The folder path 'Program Files' contains invalid character."

Development Getting Started & Setup

Hey there! When I try to install the .msi file that I downloaded from here, this error appears.

  • I tried in a different user, which does not contain an invalid character.
  • Yes I’m an admin on this machine.

Please help me about this situation. Thanks!

There is a space in the “Program Files” name. Try to install it in a directory that does not have a space in its name like C:\FolderName

I get this error when I double-click that .msi file. I can’t even select a path file.

I browsed that link, found some ways but it didn’t help me. Can you please send me the direct link about that topic?

Hey there again!

I fixed my solution by myself. I just used another computer, installed the launcher to an external HDD, and copied to my own computer. It’s working perfectly
