I've been using the mod launcher for some great mods for a while now but suddenly today when I try to run it, it fails, Norton says I'm not allowed to use it and removes it, when I try to reinstall it, it goes all the way to 100% then this pops up;

 

"Windows can not access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."

 

How do I fix this?

Ahh Norton, our old friend.

 

Can you run the mod launcher as admin? Can you set up an exclusion in Norton on the folder where the launcher is trying to install mods too?

It worked fine before today, that's whats confusing me... Then against I haven't shutdown/restarted in a while, I normally just put my pc in sleep mode. could it maybe just need a restart?

 

Hard to tell. Maybe Norton needs to be temporary disabled to installed? I do t have any experience in it.

Just an update. We continued this discussion on discord. The end result was temporarily disabling Norton, then installing the Mod Client. After that, it worked as expected.

Yes it did. Thank you for all your assistance. I was losing my mind. Now I'm having a great time with the Settler's Mod. Now to hopefully get an updated True Survival ;)

just wanted to chime in and say great work on the launcher, it works great and gets better each release.

 

Also, The "Refresh Mods Automatically" check box is now remembering its setting. I am not sure it is working as intended, but it is a little confusing how it is currently working since it looks like those check boxes would be tied to the individual mods based on how the UI is displayed, but it looks like the check boxes are really global settings that apply to all since checking or unchecking on one affects all installed.

 

if they are global, maybe they need to move to the settings menu/screen (or at least a separate outline box), but if they are not, it might be another bug.

 

Also a separate issue...on mods with a box for Server Information (like True Survival A16.2, Ravenhearst Test Server,etc.), the server Info box is being displayed in the upper right before the mod is installed and covering up part of the dialog saying it is not installed and the Download from Steam radio button text.

The UI does need some more refinements. I made the options accessible for each mod, even though they are global. This is so that they are easily visible for the user, and they are typically focused just on one particular mod. There are a lot of casual users of the Mod Launcher that may not even be aware of the menu, let along where to look for options that may help get them started :)

 

I'll look and move the server info box around next update. Thanks for the feed back!

Issue with Install

 

Due to some weird Windows install paranoia, I have to use the .zip files. The latest version of the .zip now produces a new issue on startup. An error making reference to "The application won't start because...side by side configuraiton is incorrect." I have had this issue with other programs because of mising runtimes, but I have all C++ runtimes (up to 2017) and .NET 4.7.1 framework installed. What did I screw up and how do I fix it?

Sorry for the delay. You can try making sure that you have .NET framework installed 4.5

4.5 won't install since I have 4.7.1 already there. Is there any other runtime needed?

 

Okay, the application error log shows this:

 

Activation context generation failed for "D:\Games\Release\7D2DLauncher.exe.Manifest".Error in manifest or policy file "D:\Games\Release\7D2DLauncher.exe.Manifest" on line 2. Invalid Xml syntax.

 

Any help?

Are you using the Release.zip package? I've never seen that error before.

The one off the main post. The installer keeps getting blocked by my paranoid machine (saying the Admin is blocking it, in other words me). Downloaeded the archive again today and tried with a fresh extract just to be sure. So, yes I am using the Release.zip version.
