Terraria from Steam won't start

Terrarian
I've had this problem for a while and every couple of weeks I try going through every guide and walkthrough I can find to fix the problem, but I still can't get Terraria to launch.

I've reinstalled it several times, I've restarted Steam, I've restarted my computer, I've downloaded the latest Microsoft .net framework, I've tried starting it from the start menu, from steam, from the desktop, and "Running as administrator" and I'm pretty much at a loss for what to try next. It used to work just fine and I didn't fiddle with any settings between then and now. Does not appear an error message,starts with the usual "Preparing to launch Terraria" then immediately goes away. Lasts probably less than a second, i already try to diagnostic the cache. i have Windows 10

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Try starting TerrariaServer.exe. It should give you more info regarding what's wrong.

A quick google on the error code only came up with some confusing answers, but it does seem like you're trying to run 32-bit Terraria with 64-bit .net framework. That won't work, you need to have the 32-bit version of .net installed as well.

Try downloading the latest .net framework (4.6.2) from here. It should install the latest 32-bit .net as well. If the installer claims you already have the latest version installed, try running the installer from the commandline (as admin) with the /repair option e.g:
>NDP462-KB3151800-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe /repair

Hopefully that fixes your issue.

Don't work
NDP462-KB3151800-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe /repair = 1 Without ">"
It is not recognized as an internal or external command
operable program or batch file

>NDP462-KB3151800-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe /repair = 2 With ">"
/repair It is not recognized as an internal or external command
operable program or batch file

>NDP462-KB3151800-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe/repair = 3 Without "space" - "exe/rapair"
Syntax of the command is incorrect

The commandline is running from /WINDOWS/system32. You probably didn't downloaded the installer there so that's why it doesn't work.
You need to open a commandline where the installer is located. The easiest way to do that is probably to navigate to the installer, then in that window (in the File menu) there should be an option to open the commandline as administrator.
In the commandline window, type NDP then press the Tab-key and it should autocomplete with the rest of the name. Type /repair (with a space) and hit enter.

Sorry man but i don't understand how to do that "

:/ Hmm, lets try it this way...

Press the Search button (right beside the Start-menu) and type cmd. Prompt dei commandi should now be visible. Right-click on it and select "Run as administrator". A commandline window opens, and you should be at C:\Users\<your username>.
Type cd Downloads ( and press enter). You should now be at: C:\Users\<your username>\Downloads

Type NDP (and press Tab) then a space and /repair (followed by enter)

The installer isn't there. That's why you get that error.
Ok move the installer to your desktop. Then in the commandline window, type: cd c:\Users\Netrodrive\Desktop
Then type NDP (and press Tab) then a space and /repair (followed by enter)
