I noticed a lot of people are having this problem as I did in the pasted. I deleted everything and reinstalled and nothing worked, then I noticed on the ELS download page that antivirus software thinks ELS is a virus when it is not. You have to reinstall ELS, then on your computer got to settings, update & security, windows security, virus threat protection, exclusions. And add the three els files...ELS.asi ELS.ini ELS folders. Restart your computer and you should be good to go!!!
