Installed FM19 but it won't launch.

For some reason it just won't launch. Not sure why.

I installed it from an ISO I had ripped from the disc I own - like I have for many other games - but it just won't open. No error message and no task in task manager. It's as if it's just being blocked.

I've used the compatibility troubleshooter but it gives me nothing. I've reinstalled, made sure everything is up-to-date but still nothing. I have nothing.

Please answer.

    Hi JK42069! Thanks for explaining clearly.

    Have you checked if FM19.exe is being blocked?

    Go to the game’s install folder, typically:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2019\

    or wherever you installed from the ISO.

    Find fm.exe or FootballManager2019.exe.

    Right-click → Properties → General tab.

    • If you see “This file came from another computer and might be blocked”, click Unblock, then Apply.

    Try running it as Administrator.

    Best regards,
    Kimberly

    Check the other tabs, to be specific the Security tab.
