RPG Maker Forums

I have tried to download the trial for MV several times now and while it does download, it will not install on my laptop. I have tried to run the install file in compatibility mode for Windows 8, 7 and XP Service Pack 3, as well as running it as administrator and with higher graphics (I've tried every troubleshooter option, in all of their variations.)

It goes through all the steps of installing without a problem and while it does take up hard drive space, it does not create a folder, desktop, or start menu icon. I have tried installing it in Program Files/(x86), Program Files and just my C drive. I have tried to install it both from my downloads folder and from my flash drive. No matter what I save it as, or where I install it, I am not able to use it. Every time, no matter what I attempt, it will not install.

It is a new laptop. I'm running Windows 8.1, I've got 4 gigs of RAM and 404 gigs free on my hard drive. It's 64 bit, for whatever that matters.

I've got an AMD A6-6310  APU processor with a Radeon R4 for graphics (1.80 ghz)

For what it matters, it's an HP 15 notebook.

As an aside: no other RPG Maker will install on it either. (XP, VX and VXA trials were downloaded and tested as well- yes, I did remember to get the RTP for each when I tried to install them.) The same thing happens with them as with MV, regardless of the compatibility changes I try.

I do know that I had no problem running Ace on my old laptop a few months ago, but that was running Windows 7.

Any ideas why I can't run MV on this computer, or maybe how to make it install and run?

Thank you for reading this.
