OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - [Steam] The game will not run without any error messages.

In the meantime, I cleaned up the registry using an external program, and reinstalled DirectX and Vcredist. I installed 7 reinstallations by moving SSD and HDD, and Steam was the administrator's authority.
I also went into the local folder where the game was installed and started ootp26.exe with administrator privileges. I also tried running the remove_temp_data_files.bat file in the local folder, all of which were followed by non-responsive shutdowns.
When I ran "GDFInstall.exe" in my local folder, I can finally see one error message, so I'm sharing it further. The message is below.

[Adding game failed: 0x80004005
GDF binary: H:\steamgames\steamapps\common\Out of the Park Baseball 26\ootp22.exe
GDF Install path: H:\steamgames\steamapps\common\Out of the Park baseball 26
All users: 0

Note: This will fail if the game has already been added.
Make sure the game is removed first. ]

In this error message, ootp22.exe is not something I misplaced. Is this helpful?

If there's no answer, I only have a way to format the C drive and reinstall Windows. For me it's so much work that it bothers me. I need help.
