Don't change the installation location, the default place under C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Local/Programs/Paradox Interactive/ is fine.

If that doesn't help, Please try this:

- uninstall Paradox Launcher v2 from the Windows "Apps and features" utility, if still present.

Delete the following folders if still present:

- C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Local/Programs/Paradox Interactive/
- C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Local/Paradox Interactive/
- C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Roaming/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/
To see the AppData folder you'll need to enable View Hidden Items in File Explorer.

- exit the Steam app entirely
- run steam.exe as the Windows Admin user
- run the game from the PLAY button in Steam
OR
- exit the Epic app entirely
- run EpicGamesLauncher.exe as the Windows Admin user
- run the game from the Epic client

IF that doesn't help, in this folder are some .log files:
C:/users/<UserName>/AppData/Local/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/
Please attach them here.

This is what it says on the log about the error, btw, now the loading bar went more far. that's progress i guess

This may be due to the unusual characters in your Windows user name. They should not be a problem of course, but I have seen a few cases where they were.

Can you make a new Windows user on this machine, just using standard Latin characters. Log into Windows as that and see if the launcher will then install itself properly.

It actually worked, thank you so much!

@Deuterium Oxide looks like the launcher installer still has a problem handling accented characters in Windows user names, which you can see in post #5 above.
