Can't launch Waves Central at all (Windows 10)

This is why I hate proprietrary installers - I foresaw this kind of thing happening.
I am on Windows 7 and was expecting I might have issues in this case - But I had a sneaking suspicion that it would not only be Win7 users who’d have issues opening the software.
This whole system puts users in such a precarious position, that it makes me want to steer clear of all such plugins. There are complex work arounds for my case scenario - but it’s unneccesarily complicated and reminds me why I had decided not to use plugins from certain developers.
