It will get stuck again but before it closes press Windows + R. After the download closes, enter %localappdata% into the prompt you opened, go to Roblox -> Versions -> version(bunch of numbers) (If you see 2 open the top one). When you're in this folder make sure you click on \"Robloxplayerlauncher.exe\" and not \"Robloxplayerinstaller.exe\" or the download will just freeze again. If you do that the download should start then continue until its finished.\n\nHopefully this helped!",

I reinstalled the operating system to eliminate the fact that the problem was in the operating system. Then I went to the official website of the Roblox game and tried to install it. During the installation, at some point the installation stops and nothing happens. (I fixed the problem using RobloxPlayerLauncher.exe which was in the game files). I started studying the problem. The next day I uninstalled Roblox and downloaded the installer from the official website. It installed successfully. I compared the old installation file with the new one. They were different in size. About 2 months later I did the same experiment. Result: The installer is broken again, but everything works using RobloxPlayerLauncher.exe.\n\nWhat do you think about this problem?",

"body": "Hi Everyone i think i have found a solution for all. \nFirst of all restart your pc if u have tried installing and it didnt work on ur last boot.(so all background installers are not active) \nthen Win+R and type %temp% delete Roblox folder in there then again win+R type %localappdata% and also erase roblox folder(if it says already running then just restart ur and try to erase it) \nthen after all of that clear your recycle bin and install roblox from the normal installer the one it gives u in the site. \nafter it finishes, press win+R and type %localappdata% and navigate to the Roblox folder and then to versions. \nclick on the one with the latest date modified and then navigate to ROBLOXPLAYERLAUNCHER not ROBLOXPLAYERINSTALLER, Run it as adminstrator and wait for it to finish and voila u can play hope it helps.",

I don't understand why though, I was playing fine a couple of weeks ago and now its been doing this. But here is the problem. It asks me to download so I download it, but when I follow the steps it never loads. Here is an example, I press \"Download & Install Roblox\" and it leads me to some instructions, I follow the instructions and it fails at step 3. Can someone help? Its been doing this for awhile, I don't know what to do. I have a MacBook Air, pretty old but she's still in good condition. I just don't understand what's happening, what do I do?"

Click that, and it must work."
