Indesign CC 2018 won't open

Indesign gives me these two prompts when attempting to open. I tried the Ctr+alt+shift when opening but it still won't work. I have Windows 7, and Illustrator and Photoshop work fine.

Any ETA on a fix for this?

-removing the app data directories had no effect

-changing permissions to these folders has no effect

-removing & reinstalling has no effect

-changing permissions to corresponding adobe indesign reg entries including hkey CU & Local machine have no effect

-removed 2018 & reinstalled 2017 for the time being until a provided fix is available

OS: Win7

Adobe CC suite, all apps are fine on 2018 except for indesign.
