I would blame anti virus or windows permissions.

I would blame anti virus or windows permissions.

I see. Well..the only antivirus that I have is Windows Defender, the default one that comes with my OS: Win Vista SP2 64- bit. Which technically means no antivirus(?)

As for the Windows permission, could you help me with how to edit or tinker with it?
Only thing I knew about editing program permission is allowing the PR exe files in Firewall or DEP (Data Execution Prevention).

Thanks for the quick response btw, cheers

Running as admin might help? This isn't a common error.
Since this is a mod the launcher works in very unusual ways, which anti virus usually don't like.
