The VideoLAN Forums

I just tried two nightly builds, and neither will work. After installation, I attempt to open a vide, and I'm presented with "VLC media player has encountered a problem and needs to close". I try uninstalling it, but when i do, i get this message: "Error Launching Installer" The window's title bar says NSIS ERROR. I have bad luck.

This is a known issue .... we haven't been able to fix it yet (or tried to). Sorry

You can still safely install the latest stable version over the nightly and then uninstall that (which will work).
