## Overview A resource extraction failure can stop a game from installing through the LDPlayer launcher. The source article gives three methods. Try them in order and stop when the game installs.
## What extraction means During an install, the launcher unpacks the game’s files onto your disk. This step is called extraction. If it fails, the install stops, and the game may not start. The methods in this guide address several possible causes: files locked by other programs, antivirus blocking writes, and an install location that the launcher cannot use.
## What to expect The install runs through extraction and finishes without an error. The game then appears where the launcher lists installed games.
## Verify Start the game from the LDPlayer home screen. If it opens to its first screen, the install worked.
## Common mistakes
- Uninstalling the launcher in Method 3 without backing up your progress. Uninstalling may remove local files.
- Choosing an install folder that you cannot write to.
- Leaving antivirus closed after the install finishes.
## Why each method helps Restarting clears files that other programs may still hold open. Closing antivirus software removes one possible block on the files the installer writes. Changing the install path avoids a location the launcher cannot use. Try the methods in order, and test the install after each one.
## If you still see the error Write down the exact error text and the step where the install stopped. Then search for that text, or check the launcher guide below.
