The application failed to initialize properly

[ND1Razor]

Hi, I just got the beta key, but the installer refuses to let me download the game.
It says I dont have net framework 3.5 SP1 or internet explorer.

What? .net 4.0~ is the latest which I am running and IE is bound to windows integrally, I couldent get rid of it if I wanted to.

I did try to fix it, enabling the .net 3.5 from control pannel and reinstalling it but it still gives me this error.

Any help is appreciated.

Yes I have, but it gives me this error:

Which is very annoying considering that I did check both the .net 3.5 boxes in said menu.

Any adivce?

If you haven't fixed yet or have done any searching, I found this: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/eu/netfxsetup/thread/fdf5f63d-54ca-4d11-aadc-762dfe691ae2

Hey, iv done that already, thats the problem, iv turned it on, and it did not work.

I turned it off - restarted
turned it on - restarted
Then attempted to update .net and it still gives me that error.

I have no clue whats going on.

This error is very annoying. Ubisoft has given no fix for us yet :(

I wonder why it only affects some of us?


FOUND A FIX:

when the error pops up, CTRL+ALT+DELETE start tast manager, go to processes, find launcher.exe, right click open file location(or similar) and then run the lancer you find in this folder as administrator.

wow, thanks so much! :D
this info should be stickied and (very clearly a bug) should be fixed!

Ugh, doesent seem to be downloading.
Uni proxy have anything to do with it?

I have the same error in win xp, I couldn't make it to finding launcher.exe location because there's no find location in task manager. Can anyone help me:S?

Yeah, I was having the same issue, but then I used Process Explorer and found it. To save you the trouble...

C:\Documents and Settings\(ComputerNameHere)\Local Settings\Apps\2.0\6JBPE3ZD.TMT\Y710CPWK.BP8\laun.. .app_59711684aa47878d_0001.0018_9a5fd80a717397a1

You may have to find it manually, because if you try to go to it by typing that out it tells you it can't find it. It should be able to find up to \Y710CPWK.BP8\ and then it's as simple as clicking into the folder and starting the launcher.

This worked, thanks. I was having a similar issue with the launcher.

its dont worked from me what to do?

[varsoviePL]

Thanks.
Now it works.

Under Windows XP the path is:
C:\Documents and Settings\Support\Local Settings\Apps\2.0\GVJW3YMG.WYV\O063Y0Q5.316\laun.. .app_59711684aa47878d_0001.001d_f787194a90b5ba90\L auncher.exe

Really wonder why UBI didn't solve this issue from long time ;)

I got the same error : "the application failed to initialize..." I'm running windows 7, and I tried many times to install/uninstall .net framework (no changes). I also tried the CTRL+ALT+Suppr trick to launch the application from the .exe but I still got the error. Strangely the game works perfectly on my laptop, but still won't run on my desktop computer. Has anyone another idea to solve this ? Because I can't find solution on the web, and I don't see many ppl having this trouble.
