    "selftext": "So I just got the e-mail invite to participate in the alpha test beginning on the 6th of August. I downloaded the file meant to install the launcher and clicked on the \"INSTALL\" button with the default installation location selected (C:\\\\Delta Force\\\\launcher). But when I click on the button nothing seems to happen, the window closes and I can see it did create the installation path folders (\"Delta Force\" and \"launcher\") but the actual launcher folder is just empty.\n\nIt's as if it just created the folders and then skipped actually installing the launcher in the created folders. Is anyone else experiencing this? Am I doing something wrong?  \n\n\n**\\[EDIT\\]** - Problem solved! If anyone else is having the same issue, try running the launcher installer as admin, that worked for me. Hope this helps someone else.",

I do not know if it will help you but I leave my experience here.\n\nRegards",
