Errors while installing

I try to run the installer and it just starts throwing up "Error opening file for writing:" on things like "WolfUpdater.dll", "WDC.exe", "WDC.chm", "WolfData.dll", seemingly anything except .inis and .txts. I feel like surely I'm missing something crucial about how I'm supposed to install this but there's no how-to-install guide anywhere.

Hi, what OS are you using?

Would you try the installer again and when the log appears that shows what it's doing, right-click and copy the log to clipboard, and paste it here as a comment? I don't think there's any sensitive information in there, but if you see anything, you can mask it.

Does the installer request elevation to Admin when you run it? It should.

Perhaps your anti-virus is interfering with the installation?

It doesn't request elevation to admin, but selecting "run as administrator" immediately gets it to work. Thanks!

Glad that worked. You may have a different UAC setting I use. I should change the installer script to force it to request admin privileges.

Thanks for letting me know.
