How are you trying to run it?

You should be able to go into the install directory and double click on AGK.exe to start the IDE up.

Are you trying to run the installer or the application?

If it's the installer you may need to 'unblock' it. I sometimes find that certain downloaded programs won't start unless they have been 'unblocked'. Properties -> General -> Unblock.

Have you tried re-downloading / re-installing?

Maybe you didn't enter the product key correctly? After 3 attempts that seems very unlikely though.

First try a simple reboot, this has solved many weird problems!

Also Right on the icon and click on Run as Administrator.

If that fails, disable your security software. I used to have this problem with Norton and DBPro, often it would take up to 30 minutes to launch and sometimes not at all.

If this fails, then do a control alt delete and see if the AppGameKit process is running at all. If it fails to launch once, but still remains in memory then the chances are further launches will fail, you can either force the process to close, or reboot you PC to ensure it's not stuck in memory.

If you have any kind of background programs running (other than standard windows processes) then close them, or if you are willing do a diagnostic startup and uncheck all the background apps you don't need to load. To do this use System Configuration, there's an MS document on how to do it HERE be sure you know what you are disabling if you are unsure then don't disable it.
