If Riot Vanguard is not installing on your PC, here are a few steps you can try to resolve the issue:
1. Run as Administrator: Make sure you are running both the Riot Client and the VALORANT installer as an administrator. Right-click the installer and select "Run as administrator."
2. Disable Antivirus/Firewall: Temporarily disable your antivirus software and firewall, as they can sometimes block Vanguard. Make sure to re-enable them after installation.
3. Clear Temp Files: Clear your temporary files. Press
Windows + R
, type %temp%
, and press Enter. Delete all files in the folder.
4. Reinstall Vanguard Manually: Navigate to the VALORANT directory (usually located in C:\Riot Games\VALORANT\live
) and manually run the vgk.msi
installer file from the "Riot Vanguard" folder.
5. Check for Updates: Ensure your Operating System and drivers are up to date.
6. Clean Boot: Perform a clean boot of your Windows to ensure no background applications are interfering. Here’s a guide: (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/how-to-perform-a-clean-boot-in-windows-8e5e31b6-de3a-8110-ff1b-38cb6d4a8f4f)
If these steps don’t help, it might be best to contact Riot Support for further assistance.
