Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Hello, I tried playing arma 3 through steam, it changes my status to in-game arma 3, But the launcher never opens and it leaves an exception error txt file on my desktop. I will attach the txt file in this post.

I have tried verifying integrity of game cache. I have also tried reinstalling the game {F27425}

Hello,
you're probably missing a system file 'version.dll', or this file is corrupted. I'd suggest to run Windows System File Checker tool to fix your system: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929833

I have now done what is said on the website you linked, and it didnt find anything wrong

Hello,
could you please delete the old text files from desktop, run Launcher again and check whether it contains a corrupted text "GetF)leVersionInfo" (note the closing parenthesis instead of the letter i) on the first line of the Exception block?

Anyway I'd suggest you to (re)install .NET Framework 4.6: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48130

I reinstalled .NET Framework 4.6, and it's working now. Thank you for your help!
