Launcher crash while trying to update

[crp1985]

Trying to update to the latest alpha patch today the launcher closes with an error while trying to apply the downloaded patch. 

After clicking update and downloading the launcher crashes while trying to apply the patch. Does anyone know of a potential fix?

Admiral, please try to completely uninstall the game and launcher files by this guide:

please try to uninstall, then remove all temporary files (once you uninstall the game):

1) Uninstall the game from launcher, then uninstall the launcher, after that make sure no temporary files remained:

2.1)

• Press Win+R then type: %HOMEPATH%\AppData\LocalLow\Game Labs\
• Right click on Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts folder and delete it

2.2)

• Open Windows Command Prompt (press Windows + R and type cmd, press enter afterwards)
  • type: regedit
• Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Game Labs\Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts
• Right click on  Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts folder and delete it
• Close regedit

3) 

• Open Windows Command Prompt (press Windows + R), then type: %HOMEPATH%\AppData\Local\
• delete the folder Ultimate Admiral Dreadnoughts if it is there

4) Install the launcher and download the game

Hi Ink thanks for replying. I tried something different which actually worked. All I had to do was run the launcher as Administrator. The game downloaded and patched just fine after that. Hopefully this helps anyone else having issues.
