If Vanguard isn't installing, try the following steps:
1. Restart PC and Client: Sometimes a simple restart of your computer and reopening the Riot Client can resolve minor issues.
2. Run as Administrator: Ensure both the VALORANT and Riot Client are run as administrator. Right-click the executable files and select 'Run as Administrator.'
3. Reinstall Vanguard: If it's an issue with Vanguard itself, you can uninstall it and reinstall it. To uninstall, search for "Add or remove programs" in Windows, find Riot Vanguard, and uninstall. Launch VALORANT again, and Vanguard should attempt a fresh installation.
4. Disable Background Programs: Some software conflicts with Vanguard. Disable or close unnecessary background programs, especially any third-party security software.
5. Check Windows Updates: Make sure your Windows OS is fully updated. Sometimes, Vanguard issues are due to outdated system files.
6. Firewall and Antivirus: Ensure your firewall or antivirus isn't blocking Vanguard's installation. Temporarily disable them if necessary while installing.
7. If these steps don't work, refer to Riot's support page for more detailed troubleshooting: Riot Support - Vanguard Installation Issues.
