next ive tried multiple different ways to fix this and all have been unsuccessful. ive simply restarted my PC, ive cleared all temp files and disc files, ive gone into the windows features and turned off the 3.5 and 4.0 .NET restarted my computer and turned them back on after theve finished installing. the game im trying to run is BG3 (baldurs gate 3) and ive even uninstall and reinstalled that for hours on end inbetween each of these attempts. i cant even open the larian launcher as it tells me to install .NET 6.0 again leading me to the same issue. im really at a loss here and just want to play a really fun game i havent played in awhile :(
