Runtime error on trying to install launcher

Mendichauz

This is still a problem. No fixes in sight. What do I do? I can't join the Discord either and ask for help

This is the problem:

"Runtime error (at 64:328):

This action is only valid for products that are currently installed."

I have done this so far:

Looked for and deleted any Ascension/Ascension Launcher programs
Used Registry Editor to remove Ascension/Ascension Launcher related entries
Changed compatibility options

Please help! I had my friend look in your Discord for help with the problem and the two first troubleshooting methods were what he found out. They did not work...

I'm also having this same issue.

@Memerella Sorry to hear that. Let me know if you find another fix to try. I promise I will do the same

Memerella

@Mendichauz There seems to be zero help on the subject. I keep getting my tickets closed with no effort, just saying to look at help service on discord but it doesn't solve my issue. Hopefully we find a fix soon.

@Memerella Guess they don't care. I joined the Discord through a friend (I could not join through this site) and did all the steps too, and of course it was fruitless.

I've also tried installing some C++ Redistributables but it didn't help. It's hard to know what to try without even the slightest lead.

I'm going to try installing it during a clean boot and with safe mode
EDIT: Didn't work. Also tried repairing every single redistridutable that I had installed

@Mendichauz Hi, did you find a solution to the Runtime error? I get the same error and still haven't figured out how to fix it.

@Infernobss Hello! Very sorry for the late reply.

Yes. There is a way to fix it and I've been playing all this time.

You have to download or transfer a fully installed folder of the game to your computer. I asked my friend to zip his folder and upload it to GoFiles, which has no upload limit. Alternatively, if you have a second computer, simply transfer the installed folder from that to your other computer.

Once I had the folder, I could either start the launcher and install it normally or simply start up my friend's install's .exe, as Ascension is based off of a WotLK client that does not require to be installed.

I'm always having this same issue.
