Run the executable (the file that ends in .exe and has the FG logo) and not the text file (which ends in .txt). You may want to turn on Show File Extensions in your explorer View options.

the exe in the program files folder, right? i run it several times, because i'm playing on weekends, and doing this changes nothing, don't install FGU.

See that Log button? Click that and upload the log file here. It's acting like anti-virus is blocking it, but the log file will help us identify that.

I suspect as LE says that something is preventing FGU from installing properly or a file has been corrupted somewhere along the line. Try first of all deleting the installation folder entirely and download the installer again and then try to install again. If FGU still doesn't install then I'd suspect your anti virus is inhibiting the installation. See the link below for how to whitelist programs. Make sure that you whitelist the entire installation folder. Once you have done that run the updater direct from the installation folder again to see if it will now install FGU. (also accept the default locations for the install if you didn't originally).

The log file shows that FGU is up to date. So I wonder if it is just installed to a different location than you expect.

Two ways I can think of to try and find it;
1) search your entire computer for "FantasyGrounds.exe" See if it finds more than one.
2) or, open your Registry Editor (don't modify anything here, just look!) Browse to 'Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SmiteWorks\F antasy Grounds' Find what is listed for the Name "AppDir" In a regular explorer window go to that directory and run FantasyGrounds.exe

It looks like you have the app and data directory the same - this can cause issues. I recommend you run the updater, click the "Settings" button and go to the "Advanced" tab - make sure that the App directory is not the same as the data directory. The default for the App directory is C:\Program Files\SmiteWorks\Fantasy Grounds and that is the recommended directory to use - I'd recommend using that, saving the settings and then running an update.
