Hi! Unfortunately, I don't know what is causing this problem. It's not normal that it asks you for administrative privileges... (I tried looking in my game folders, but everything seems normal, so I don't see what could cause this) Sorry ;;
Did you download the vn on pc or mac?
I wish I could help you but I just saw that you figured out how to do it! Thank you for sharing the solution to the problem! 🙏❤
