SharePoint Designer 2013 Crashing at First things First screen

Question

I installed SharePoint Designer 2013 (sharepointdesigner_64bit.exe) on my laptop on Windows 10 Pro (64 bit operating system). I have not installed SP1 as it is for 32 bit bit edition. I am connected to internet. I downloaded SharePoint Designer 2013 exe file from my Microsoft office 365 account under Tools and add-ins. No issues during the Installation.

When I open the designer, I get a First things First screen to Accept the License Agreement. When I click the Accept button, Designer crashes.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Ana-Sun

I had to edit the REGISTRY to resolve the issue.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Registration]
“AcceptAllEulas”=dword:00000001

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\15.0\firstrun]
“BootedRTM”=dword:00000001

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\General]
"ShownFirstRunOptin"=dword:00000001

Thanks, it works!Note: The double quotation marks for “AcceptAllEulas” and “BootedRTM” have been mistakenly replaced with ampersands. Be sure to correct them before using the entries in a .reg file.
