Thephedora Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 What happened:I was setting up vortex, And setting up the paths to the external that houses all the games, then Vortex CTDs and is now completely MIA. No icon, no file path, nothing. It's as if the program didn't even exist. No idea WHY this happened, how ever I thought this to be something that should be made aware of, and I'm not going to try again. Also DXDIAG in attachment.

Thephedora Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share Posted July 16, 2018 So, Tried to reinstall Vortex, Got: Error opening file for writing C:\Program Files\Black Tree Gaming Ltd\Vortex\Uninstall Vortex.exe Click Abort to stop the installation,Retry to try again, or Ignore to skip this file. Again, not a major, but still an issue that should be known about, Poggers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadToRegister Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Did you run the installer as Admin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannin42 Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 The most likely reason is that Vortex tried to update itself and something went wrong. Restarting windows may help. The error message indicates that either your current user account doesn't have permission to uninstall the previous version or that some process keeps the uninstaller file locked - which is most likely either the borked previous updater or your Antivirus.An overzealous AV could also explain why the update failed in the first place.
