You don’t have permission

So I had just published to games and I just tested the download and it downloads the zip and everything but when u try to start the application it says you do not have permission to use it if it helps the game engine I used is unity

You'll need to give a lot more details than that. What is "it"? The application? On what operating system? I assume the game build works before you upload it?

it keeps showing me this when i try to start the application

Judging from that screenshot I would say you didn’t include the rest of the game’s files.

they all merged together when i extracted the zip 

Into a 625 KB file? UnityPlayer.dll alone should have 19.1 MB. Whatever happened when you extracted the game, the files did not merge on their own.

Try to download and look at another Unity game and compare what happens when you extract it. In the example I’ve linked there should be 2 .exe files, one UnityPlayer.dll and 2 additional folders.

I just put my games to public again I think I fixed I was wondering if you could test the download for me

Sorry, I didn’t notice your post earlier. I tried downloading it and everything was there: Unity & the Crash handler, as well as 2 folders.

I can’t identify the issue, but it seems to be on your end. Without watching the process on your end all I can do is guess… Either you only extracted one file by a miss-click (marking all the files and pulling them over, accidentally letting go of the button momentarily, resulting in only one file being dragged). Or maybe your virus scanner got an update based on the whole opt-out telemetry issue with Unity - would be a bit late for that, though…

Maybe try downloading the game from itch.io again and decompress via the right mouse button?

Edit: Also important for diagnosis (by me or others): Does extracting the game I linked work for you?

thank you i did find out it was my virus protection

Thanks for keeping us in the loop. Could you disclose what Antivirus you were using at the time? (Only if you’re comfortable with sharing that information, of course.)

so the webGL works but the download is the only thing that dose not work when you try to play it
