Emulation Launch Fails - Requires Elevation

Issue #6083 invalid
Nathan Lyon created an issue

An error is thrown when I try to launch any emulated game from any emulation platform (PCSX2, Retroarch, Cemu).

I have tried running launchbox with elevated privileges. The game will launch from either of the emulators I previously mentioned outside of launchbox.

    Hi Nathan, most likely this is because you’ve configured things incorrectly. It may be because you’ve put LaunchBox and/or your emulators in a folder that requires administrator rights to write to. If that’s the case, you’ll need to change your setup to use folders that don’t require admin rights. Otherwise, please post a new topic in the troubleshooting section of the forums and we can help you get it figured out.

    That was it! ACL’s were screwed up.

    Thanks for pointing me in the right direction
