Installer fails on creating C:\Program Files\Pandora Empty Installer fails on creating C:Program FilesPandora

Mon Feb 13, 2023 5:15 am
After years of reading about Pandora I decided to try it, but can't get past the installer. This is probably some weirdness in Windows 10 permissions, but I can't figure it out. MS doe seem to mess with things behind my back.... Can anyone advise on this?

Thanks.

Try run installer as administrator.

Assuming that user amuller uses your advice to run as administrator and this works for him, this will be an issue that confuses users and new users in particular.

To avoid this, could the installers (32-bit and 64-bit) be distributed with the property setting Compatibility > Run this program as an administrator already selected? This would be one thing less for users to have to remember, and lead to less frustration. would it not? Then again, is it wise to use "run as administrator" as a default installer setting, are there any negative aspects of this?
