Hello,
I'm looking at the issue right now, I don't not sure why this is happening, but you may try these two options:

I reinstalled .NET Framework 4.5.2. I then deleted arma3launcher.exe and the Launcher folder.

33 files were reacquired after verification of game cache. Returns same error.
New .txt named:

"After Fix Attempt Arma3Launcher_Exception_20150719T150716.txt"

Could you please download a special version Launcher, extract it to the desktop and run it from there? It's basically same as the one you have, but that error report contains more information.

Sorry for the delay in reply; I forgot that I was going away.

I have extracted the file to the desktop (The file both directly on the desktop and in the folder it arrived in.)

Running the program normally / as admin seems to be doing anything. Nothing opens, my Steam doesn't switch to "In-Game Arma 3", and a error report is not created.

Could you please check that there is no running process arma3launcher.exe in Task Manager?

Also if you open Event Viewer and go to Windows Logs / Application, is there any error from the time you ran Launcher?

I have two errors appear when I launch the linked launcher. I have linked copy + pastes of the errors from the Steam Launcher and the link Launcher below.

A friend of mine has looked over the error logs and believes it's something Visual C++ 2010 related. I believe these problems started AFTER attempting to install PlayWith6. I have tried reinstalling Visual C++ 2010 but as I have newer versions installed, it won't allow me to install it.
PlayWith6 also fails to load and doesn't install correctly.

Hello,
a description from the error pretty much summarize it: "The process was terminated due to an internal error in the .NET Runtime".

So far I was able to match the error with this article on Microsoft Knowledge Base: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2640103 but I believe that their hotfix won't be applicable to you as you should already have a never version of those files. I'll keep looking for other possible solutions.

I can think of one more option. Microsoft has released .NET Framework 4.6 this Monday, you may want to try it: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48130

The .NET update has fixed it. Thanks a lot!
I think my PC's updating isn't set up right so I'll fix that!

Thanks again!

I'm glad to hear that it's fixed for you.
