launcher error cannot download content
Posted: Sun Jul 19, 2026 10:35 am
Hello
I found out about your server yesterday. I downloaded the launcher but when I press update button below message pops up: "Cannot write to the game folder. Move your OctoWoW install out of Program Files (or any protected folder), or run the launcher as administrator, then try again."
I had launcher in - download- folder, then I moved it to users.
It is not in Program Files and I did run it as administrator.
I asked for help on discord but so far no one was able to provide advice that would work.
I would appreciate help.
Regards
Damorka
