CreationKit crashes on launch, initializing FaceGen

[lorg8472]

I just made a clean installation of win10 + steam + Fallout4 + CreationKit.

Apparently it all went correctly, but when I launch CK a small window pops up asking for admin privileges to "register flowchart control".

This happen when CK is in the "initializing FaceGen" moment.

If I say yes Steam launches a second instance of CK with the option "-instal"; then CK attemps to start again and crashes during "initialize FaceGen".

I launched cmd.exe as admin and used regsvr32 to register flowchartx64.dll.

I just got rid of the popup window and now it goes straight to crashing , so I think that there were two separate problems.

I used to install CK from Bethesda and I never had this problem, only now with the steam version.

Can someone help me please

SOLVED

The problems were caused by Steam not having admin rights.

Wich is wierd, because it installed FO4 and other games without problems.

However I uninstalled CK Fallout and Steam , run steamsetup.exe as admin then went on steam.exe property/compatibilty tab and set it to run as admin.

Then reinstalled everything.

Now it works as it used to.

Thank you, lorg8472! I had the exact problem. Your post was the ONLY source on the webs that provided a solution for me.

Once I read your post, I closed Steam, launched it with full admin authorities, and launched Creation Kit from within Steam. The base.zip downloaded and installed. After the several minutes that it took that to complete, CK then opened all its windows just fine.

I appreciate you having taken the time to post your resolution, as it helped get me through to start modding after several days of my iRobot forehead bumping the wall.
