  davehal1964:

  Renamed folder asTopgolf1 and tried running launcher.exe. Same outcome I'm afraid. 

  Okay, I'll have a think and do some Googling.  : )

  If nothing else works, try:

  1. Open the game via steam

  2. Restore point (windows) before the problem appeared.

  Thanks Yiannis - will try to work out when issue first occurred and restore prior to it happening

  I wonder if an antivirus software is blocking it.

  Don't think so Scott - checked if blocked, but not the case.

  However, I have now managed to access via Steam - set up new Steam account, which in turn asked me to download WGT files and launcher works (via Steam, but still not on desktop). I'm happy with that, so don't worry about working out what the problem was. Thanks again.

   

  Thanks also Yiannis - the Steam option seems to have solved it

  Okay Dave, cheers.

  Good suggestion, Yiannis.
