Honestly, just reinstall your entire operating system. If Valorant's not installing, it's clearly a sign. (JK, please don't do this. Try running as admin first.)
Running into the 'can't install a required dependency' error in Valorant can be a real bummer, but don't worry, there's a couple of tricks to fix it. First off, make sure to run the Valorant installer as an administrator. Right-click the installer > Properties > Compatibility > Check 'Run this program as an administrator'. Also, double-check your antivirus isn't blocking any Valorant files. Sometimes, antiviruses see game files as threats. If that doesn't work, reinstalling Riot Vanguard, Valorant's anti-cheat system, often does the trick. Lastly, ensure your Windows is up-to-date to avoid compatibility issues.
