Omniverse Launcher is not launching anything

Hi there,

I’ve tried to install and use NVIDIA Omniverse today, but could not even launch the application.

I’ve downloaded ‘omniverse-launcher-win.exe’, which created a folder in ‘C:\Users\kinet\AppData\Local\Programs\omniverse-launcher’, including ‘NVIDIA Omniverse Launcher.exe’. When I run the executable as an administrator, nothing happens. I can see the program in my Tasks Manager, and see activity, but nothing else.

You can see the install logs here:
MonitorLog_NVIDIA Omniverse Launcher 1.9.15.txt (11.0 KB)

Here’s a video showing the issue:

I’ve tried uninstalling and installing again, no changes.

Here are my specs:

  • CPU: 12th Gen Intel(R) Core™ i7-12700 2.10 GHz
  • RAM: 64 GB
  • GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3080 12GB (drivers are up to date)
  • Win 1123H2 22631.4751

Any idea what’s causing the issue and how I can fix it?

Thanks,
Alex

I’ve found the launcher logs, but I can’t understand what’s going on

Hi and thank you for the question. Launcher is now Legacy. We prefer you do not use it. What exactly on Launcher are you looking for? Instead just download our Kit SDK directly from our GITHUB page GitHub - NVIDIA-Omniverse/kit-app-template: Omniverse Kit App Template

Richard ~ this post explains very well the exact same question i had. When i went to launch OMNIVERSE through OMNIVERSE LAUNCHER ~ i saw some muted black on muted gray double dim launcher window 🪟

I am not really sure what that means to be honest. However, just to be clear, there is no “Omniverse” that you can launch. Omniverse is the entire platform. The launcher, allows you to launch certain kit templates.

But again, I would really recommend not using launcher at all. It is best just to download all latest kit templates from GitHub.
