we couldn't install a required dependency
I downloaded everything for valorant except for vanguard (I keep on pressing retry but it doesnt work), I asked my friend to send me vanguard files so I could put it inside the vanguard folder because f or some reason, only the logs file was there. after putting the files from my friend to the vanguard folder it still wont work. how do I fix this?

It sounds like you're experiencing an issue with installing Riot Vanguard, which is the anti-cheat system for VALORANT. File sharing might further complicate the issue. Here are the steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve this problem:
1. Delete Vanguard Files: Remove all Riot Vanguard files that you manually placed in the folder.
2. Uninstall Riot Vanguard:
- Press
Windows Key + R to open the Run menu.
- Type appwiz.cpl and press Enter.
- Find Riot Vanguard in the list and uninstall it.
3. Restart Your PC.
4. Reinstall VALORANT and Vanguard:
- Open the Riot Client and try to install VALORANT again. This should prompt a fresh Vanguard installation.
If these steps don't resolve the issue, it might be necessary to adjust or disable security settings or software temporarily that may be interfering with Vanguard installation. If the problem persists, consider reaching out to Riot Games' Support Site for further assistance.

ps: I honestly might give up. I've been trying to download valorant for the past 7 hours but I kept getting the "process already running" error and only found out how to finally open very recently. still open to answers to my problem ^ though
