I was running a previous version of FxSound and when I went to upgrade to latest version (on W11) I keep getting a weird permissions error. Tried everything I can think of. Please help. ![Screenshot 2024-01-11 171821](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fxsound/original/2X/8/8c25c2367ebb086be790c1b1161ae9dd9a034306.png) ---

FxSound installation should normally create the defaults settings file in this directory. If the file is not created due to any permission issue, then you can copy FxSound.settings from %PROGRAMDATA%\\FxSound to %APPDATA%\\FxSound. > \* Run FxSound as Administrator - elaboration by @bvijay74: > If the FxSound.settings file is not present in %APPDATA%\\FxSound, then upon FxSound launch the file gets created. User will get the error only if FxSound does not have the permission to create the file. So, running FxSound as an Administrator is another option to overcome the issue. Subsequent launches can be as standard user, but the settings changes will not get saved. Application launch error can be avoided this way and this does not require any manual changes to the settings file. > \* Tutorial for fixing the "Settings file not found!" error on Windows 11 by forum member justinfoHowto: > https://www.youtube.com/watch?si=iUpOVhBwpGPK7iFX > > \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ > > \*\*3.

I finally got it to work, seems I missed a folder it was trying to install to and it did not have proper permissions setup. Thanks! ---
