The question is VLC player installation is crashing - The debugging always starts with "Pattern finding"

1. Try multiple times to figure out if this is reoccuring
2. If no, we are good. If yes, then
a. Look for the memory space
b. Look for dependent dll
c. Look for version (32 bit installer getting installed on 64 bit OS)
d. Look for a installer meant for another Os being installed on different one
e. Look for low disk space
f. Look for low cache, or RAM
g. Look for logged in user not having installation rights
h. Look for installing from an remote location where the user does not have executable rights

1.Check for bit version[32 or 64] compatability of vlc and your system.
2.Check the system requirements of vlc to be installed.
2.if it is compatable, then restart system which frees RAM and temp memory
3.try installing again
4.If problem comes, then run anti virus and clean system

Definitely the depended file / library missing!!!
