Clonk Rage won't start.

I played Clonk Rage in 2009 maybe? And i recently found it again and tried installing it. But everytime i open the game nothing happens. If i run as adminestrator the game opens minimized. I click on the game and for a second or two i hear the music play and then i minimizes again. Does anyone know how to fix that if possible? Thanks

Try installing CR outside of the C:\Program Files\ directory, e.g. in C:\Clonk Rage\. Clonk has issues with the access control mechanisms in newer Windows versions.

Maybe there's an error message in the log file. Look for a "Clonk.log" file in your Clonk installation directory and paste its contents here. (If you can't find one there, it's probably in the AppData directory %APPDATA%\Clonk Rage\ or something like that.)

The Clonk Rage folder is empty and it's not in the other one either. Is there anywhere else it could be?
Edit: Found the file this is what it says
