Cannot Run Installed Build

Hi all.

I’m having issues creating an installer for my game.

I’ve made 3 different attempts, NSIS, Inno, and VS installation.

All 3 manage to create all the folders and everything i need, but once I try and run the game, it crashes before even displaying the unity launcher.

I’ve tried running installer as admin, changing compression methods.

Anyone has any idea on what could be the issue?

For anyone looking at this:

The issue ended up being installing a Development build into the Program Files (X86) folder on windows 7.

Under that platform, you cannot write in that folder if you run the game not as an admin, and a dev build attempts to write the debug log file, causing a crash. Release builds don’t have this problem. You can use a debug build, just have to run as admin on windows.
