Due to this error, users are unable to install the Pokemon TCG Online on their Windows 11 device and face an error. This error closes the installer and leaves the user helpless. However, Mod_Alder from the Pokemon TCG forum might be able to help you with a suggested fix:
1) Uninstall the game from your Control Panel by going to the Programs and Features section on your PC.
2) There will be a directory where the game goes after installation. If you didn’t change the directory location during the installation of the game, the directory should be at C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData.
3) Delete the “Pokemon Trading Card Game Online” folder from the Roaming folder which will be under the directory itself. Moreover, also delete the “The Pokemon Company International” folder from the LocalLow folder. All the game files should leave your computer once you complete this step.
4) To make sure the files are gone for good, empty your computer’s recycle bin.
5) Also, make sure that no previous version of the game is still available on your computer.
