Discord Installation Has Failed Error (2021) _ How to Fix Discord Installation Has Failed

Hey and welcome back to the channel .

Are you having issues installing Discord on your Windows 10 PC in this video .

I'm going to show you two methods to get this up and running .

One is an easy way where we clear the cache and any temporary files and then try to install it .

The second one is kind of forcing it to install by extracting it onto your computer .

So I'm gonna show you how to do that and we're gonna get started right now .

Now before we get started , make sure you subscribe to this channel .

And if you're on youtube hit the alert notification , we're going to begin the first method at the desktop because this is probably where you're going to be left if it had failed to install .

So the first thing we want to make sure is there's no instances of it running .

So we're going to go into the tray and quit any Discord sessions that are running and then we're going to go into the task manager and inside the task manager , we're going to look for anything that says Discord and we're going to right , click on it and then task Now , if you find the one that the white icon , that is the main one .

So if you right click and end it , you're going to kill all the sessions and just look through the list , make sure there's nothing else in here and then we can close out of this window .

Now , we're going to click on start and go to settings and inside here , we're going to go in the apps and we're going to search for Discord .

And if there's any discords in here , we're going to select it and then install .

Now , you'll often have fragments of discord all over the computer if it failed during the installation .

So what we're trying to do is remove all traces of it .

And the last step to clear any traces of it is click on the start button .

And in here , we're going to type in percent sign app data , percent sign , hit , enter and this window is gonna pop open .

So any temporary files are going to be right here in the Discord folder .

Uh What we want to do is just delete it .

If you see anything related to Discord , we're just going to highlight it , hold shift on your keyboard , hit delete , and we're going to permanently delete it .

So now it's been completely deleted off your system and now there should be no more files left over .

So let's close out of this window .

So now with the completely gone off the computer , we can open up a browser head over to discord dot com and then download a new copy of it of the Windows version for your PC and try to install it now that might work for you .

Maybe you're still having issues .

So then we'll go on to Method number two .

In method number two , we're going to need to download a tool .

So we're going to head over to Google and we're going to type in seven zip , seven zip .

We can click on the download link and I know that we're using a 64 bit version .

So you can download the 64 bit version , assuming you're using the same version of windows and then click on it to install it .

Click yes to the prompt and let me just minimize this window and then we can click on install .

So it's going to install seven zip .

And what it is is it's an application that allows us to decompress our unzip files .

And now what we're gonna do is head over to our downloads folder where our setup file is .

So the setup file is the one that you just downloaded from their website .

And what I'm going to do to make things easier , more visible .

OK .

So we're just gonna drag and drop this on the desktop so you can follow along cleanly and close this window and we're going to right , click on it in the menu , go to seven zip and then look for extract to Discord set up .

So now it's gonna create a folder on our desktop with the files that we're gonna need .

And what we're gonna do now is we're just gonna open up file explorer by clicking on start and type in file explorer .

Here we go .

And then we want to go to this PC and then our C drive and then we're gonna drag and drop it into the C drive .

Now , inside here , we're gonna open it up and then we're gonna locate a file right here at the top .

It's the first one .

So we'll right click on it and go to seven zip .

And then we're going to go down to extract Discord 0.0 0.309 dash full .

Now , this name is going to change depending on the version that you have downloaded .

So when it's completely extracted , we have a new folder here that we can go into .

And then we're going to go into the lip folder , lib , double click on that and open it up and inside here .

Net 45 will open that up as well .

And here is the Discord file that we want so we can create a shortcut on the desktop .

So it's easily accessible and this is the one that we're going to launch .

So right click on it , send to and then desktop .

OK ?

And now our shortcut has been created on the desktop for the program and we can close out of the file explorer .

Now we want to delete the set up files , so we don't get confused .

So let's get it rid of that .

And now we're just left with the application shortcut .

So we can double click on it and we can launch Discord and it's going to start up as if we installed it .

So everything's been extracted .

We're going to get a login screen and here it is and you can log in with your user name and password as if you had just installed the program .

And that is method number two .

So I hope you found this useful .

If you did , please give us a thumbs up .

I'll do my best to answer them .

Thank you for watching and I'll catch you on the next one .
