Details: CreateProcess C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Roblox\Versions\version-14fe283fc52248e5\RobloxPlayer.exe failed: The system cannot find the file specified.

I tried reinstalling a few times, I tried turning off all my firewalls, I tried renaming the RobloxPlayerLauncher RobloxPlayer but still can't get it to work. Only ever says "unexpected error occurd, we're sorry!"

The error makes it seem like the RobloxPlayer is just not getting downloaded with the package however I have no idea how I would get it. Help..?

"get a life"

That's not very helpful.

As for the problem, do you have the ROBLOX Launcher icon on your computer screen?

It did not show up when I downloaded it, no. However it does show up in the all programs folder. Windows 7.

That seems like it could be the problem. If I'm not mistaken, the icon holds RobloxPlayer.exe

When you uninstall ROBLOX, do you install both ROBLOX Player and ROBLOX Studio?

(the link I gave you is to a test site, just you know)

Also, it'll only play the games on the test site, but I'm curious to see if that one might work.

Right click the icon and click Go "Open file location" Do you see "RobloxPlayer" or "RobloxPlayerBeta" in that folder?

Whaling About Updates
By John Shedletsky - January 16, 2008

“Why do I have to update ROBLOX all the time?” askes one uninformed user.

Well, unlike most other games you might find on the internet, ROBLOX is still under active development. This means that we’re still in the middle of making the game. Every 2-3 weeks the ROBLOX team packages up their latest work and makes it available as an update to ROBLOX. Sure, we could hold onto all our cool improvements and only release once every 6 months. But who wants to wait? We’ve got major improvements right now, and you get them today!

What’s New in this Release

Graphics speed improved 10-20%, video memory corruption artifacts in mesh and shadow rendering a thing of the past.
New image review scheme. User uploaded images don’t display anywhere on the site or in-game until moderated by a real human being.
Characters climb ladders without looking like they have a serious neurodegenerative disorder; characters can climb ladders with hats on.
Insert -> Object menu in ROBLOX Studio.
Shadow color property added to Lighting service.
Many bugs and crashes fixed.

Image Upload and Review

We have made important changes to how uploading shirts works. In order to make our site safe for audiences of all ages, now every uploaded image is vetted by our crack mod squad before appearing anywhere on the site or in-game.

When you upload a new shirt, it will not display on your character. If you go in-game, you will see it, but no one else will. All uploaded shirts images go into a queue that our moderators inspect. Inappropriate images will be filtered out at this time and accounts that upload bad images will be deleted. After a moderator has inspected your shirt and marked it “Ok”, then it will show on the site and on your character.

Some people will be unhappy that they no longer get instant response to their new shirt uploads. However, this is a necessary step we have to take.



Notice to Lua Hackers

ROBLOX Lua is still under heavy development and prone to rapid changes. This often means that we are adding new stuff, but occassionally it means taking stuff out. For instance, the DHTML Window has proven to be unworkable in its current form and had to be removed from this release. We try to give our scripters some idea of what is “preliminary” or “deprecated”, so that they know which functions to avoid if they are trying to build a ROBLOX Lua script that will stand up to multiple reversionings of ROBLOX Lua.

In this release, we’ve taken the further step of hiding these experimental or dying objects in the Object Browser and the Insert Object/Service menus so that new users don’t stumble upon them. Players who really know what they’re doing in ROBLOX Studio will want to unhide these objects by changing the two new settings, as shown below:

- Telamon

I keep getting this system error trying to load the website, have you fixed that? It said:

Runtime Error

Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a tag within a “web.config” configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This tag should then have its “mode” attribute set to “Off”.

Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the “defaultRedirect” attribute of the application’s configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.

I looked up some stuff on this and I found something. I tried it, and it worked. Some people say it won't work for them, but most have said it has worked.
1. *Optional* Delete all cookies, and clear caches, preferably with CCleaner
2. Uninstall all programs with ROBLOX in their name from the Control Panel
3. Open up run, and type in %appdata%
4. Up at the top, where it says Roaming, hit the arrow to the left of it, and hit Local
5. Delete the folder labeled ROBLOX
6. Hit the arrow next to AppData and choose LocalLow
7. Delete RbxLogs, and rbxcsettings.rbx
8. *Optional* Run CCleaner, and scan for Registry Issues. Make sure you fix all the ROBLOX related issues.
9. Restart your computer..
10. Install ROBLOX, found at roblox.com/install

You have to close all ROBLOX windows that are open, even if it's just open on a browser. If you don't have CCleaner then just ignore the steps with it.

Just RobloxPlayerBeta. Like I said, I tried renaming that and the RobloxPlayerLauncher to just "RobloxPlayer" however it still did not work.

I'm going to be honest here, I had to do a whole restore on my PC to get this error fixed, as I dealt with it on my main account.

I have the exact same problem.
But do NOT rename what you just did.
RobloxPLayerLaunch.exe starts RobloxPlayerBeta.exe and changes the Name to "Roblox Game Client" but visually its named "ROBLOX".

I am not sure. But i recommend you contacting ROBLOX staff at info@roblox.com
That's what i am about to do right now.

I'm so tired of this.
