WebClient exception when downloading local platesolver files

See attached screenshot.

Restarting the PC didn't help.

Ok this happened because Cygwin got its permissions all screwed-up, and wouldn't even allow Administrator accounts access to its files.

I fixed it by uninstalling Nina, deleting the Cygwin folders under AppData\Local\NINA, and then reinstalling Nina.

Tedious, but I got myself unstuck.

That looks like a permission issue. Unfortunately I haven't found a good solution for this. The setup project installer i'm using will use the SYSTEM credentials for installing everything (including the cygwin) and thus the cygwin folder has no write permission even for an admin user. There is some logic in the code that should switch the permissions to everyone, but it looks like it does not always work. You need to right click on the folder, go to the security tab and change permissions by claiming the folder. Hope that helps. Edit: In the long run i think i need to switch to a better setup installer that allows some more things.

Yep okay let's just close this for now then, and maybe add a wishlist item to change the installer.
