So, i finally got my computer back after the motherboard failed. but because i have a new motherboard, i have a new hard drive as well.
I try to run the existing version of roblox i had saved to my old hard drive, and just to make sure all the paths are correct. i move it to my new C: drive.
after waiting forever with it at the “Installing roblox studio” screen, it pops up these errors
the same thing happened when i tried to reinstall roblox studio.
is there any fix for this?
I’ve seen this error a bunch of times. The fix for me is always to uninstall Studio and Player, then reinstall them.
This looks like a security/permissions problem.
Since you’ve copied the files from your old hard drive, and those were in C:\Users<former_you>, it may so happen, that the copy operation retained file ownership and permissions for <former_you>, and that the installer running under <new_you> is therefore unable to write to a directory owned by <former_you>.
Any solution to that problem?
You might be able to take ownership of the directories and files if you dig deep enough into security settings that are available when you Right Click/Properties.
Properties on the file, or for roblox studio exe?
On all the directories that you copied over (you can multi-select). Once you change the properties and hit Apply, there will be a prompt to apply changes recursively - you’ll need to say yes.
