Please make sure you have the Microsoft VC++ Runtime installed to run FFNx. Additionally consider sharing the FFNx.log file to be able to better understand what is going on.

This does not show anything unfortunately. I'm not sure which kind of setup you're using. I'd suggest you asking for help on Discord.
