So after some difficulties getting past the prerequisite, uninstalling and re-installing, making sure drivers are up to date and permissions were set to admin, I find myself stuck with a big ol-launch button that only goes from please wait then back to launch.
The icing on the cake is that this is a new computer and this is the first thing I wanted to install. Any help will be appreciated.
