## Overview This guide covers the case where the LDPlayer launcher fails to install. The source article lists three methods: restart and retry, choose a different install disk, and close antivirus software before retrying. Try them in order and stop when the installer finishes.
## Why these methods help A restart closes programs that may still hold files the installer needs. A different install disk can help when the first location has a permission, free-space, or file-lock problem. Antivirus software sometimes blocks or quarantines files that an installer writes, so closing it for the install can help.
## What to expect The installer runs to its completion screen without an error. If it still fails, write down the exact error text before you try the next method. The text helps you pick the right guide.
## Verify Open the launcher after the installation finishes. If it opens, the installation worked.
## Common mistakes
- Skipping the restart. Files may still be in use by other programs.
- Choosing a folder you cannot write to, or a removable drive that may disconnect during the install.
- Forgetting to turn antivirus protection back on after the installer finishes.
## When this guide may not fit If the installer shows a specific error and none of the three methods help, the cause may be different. Search for the exact error text, or check the related guides below.
## Notes and Troubleshooting
- Closing antivirus software leaves your PC unprotected while it is closed. Keep it closed only as long as the installer needs.
- If the installer still fails, check Fix the “Initiation Failed!” Error When Opening LDPlayer for related fixes.
