I am trying to install LMMS on my dad's Windows 10 64-Bit computer. I go to the download page of LMMS, download the installer and run it. I run it and tell it to install in C:\Program Files\LMMS, and it installs. Yet when I open LMMS, and go into settings, all of the directories are targeted at nonexistent folders in the OneDrive, which isn't even set up on my dad's computer, and the target folders don't exist anywhere in C:\Program Files\LMMS\*. And all of the folders that don't contain more folders in them are empty. Furthermore, I have gone into the properties of LMMS.exe and gave it writing and modifying permissions, and put it on the antivirus whitelist for protected folder changes, and LMMS itself is still giving me the error that it can't save the project because it does not have permission to write. Please help!
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Multiple times.
Well as i saw that
on my dad's Windows 10 64-Bit computer
I was sure you lacked permissions to install, but it looks like you have those..?
IF your dads pc has the highest possible windows-defender settings then You
must be logged in
as Administrator, and you must have
Full-rights.
Windows-defender has been
named the inbuild-virus, and can cause some serious 'amusing' issues, especially on strongest setting, where you as a user pretty much are logged out of your own pc.
I always encouraged new users to do a
default-installation , eg accept all default settings, and just click ok through our whole install process,
https://lmms.io/wiki/index.php?title=In ... on_Windows
but you can
..CAN customise your install 100%, so you can avoid installing inside windows protected
program-files, and choose any folder you like. The documentation will then however not be helpful, in respect to Settings.
My advice is that you checkup what limitations windows-defender invokes, and then maybe change those, if thats not an option, you need to make an installation outside
program-files
Let us know the outcome :)
