I've just downloaded FG, and the update finished, but not the app won't launch. It makes no difference whether I attempt to start it from the start menu or from Explorer. Nothing happens. No splash screen, no dialog box, no window opens.

I've tried running FantasyGrounds.exe as administrator, I've tried turning off my antivirus temporarily, I've tried running FantasyGroundsUpdater.exe.

I've found an error event (in Event Viewer) that seems to be related to each time I've tried to run the app and they all contain the same info:

I'm running Windows 10 64-bit with 8Gb ram and DirectX 11. I've run dxdiag and it reported no problems. I can send the resulting file, if needed.

I got it to work by uninstalling and reinstalling with steam. Uninstalling was a bit of a pain though, since hitting the uninstall button produced exactly the same results as trying to run the program. I deleted the install folder and searched under HKEY_CURRENT_USER in regedit and deleted the key tree I found. I wouldn't recommend that fix unless you know what you're doing in regedit, though. This may have been due to an heavily loaded internet connection corrupting the updates, though I can't be sure, of course.
