Unauthorized Access Error

Post#1 » Sat Dec 10, 2016 10:10 pm

Yes, I right-clicked the 'Warhammer Online - Age of Reckoning" folder and enabled read-only. And I have ran it as an administrator. The folder is on the desktop, and I'm using RoRlauncher from this website.

When I uncheck the read-only attribute on the folder, I'm able to boot up the game, but there are no servers to choose from. When it is checked, I can't even boot up. Any help by computer pro's would be appreciated. Thanks!

I get two errors, first one is when I open up the launcher here:

Error unpacking:
System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\Users\New User\Desktop\Warhammer Online - Age of Reckoning\ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.dll' is denied.
at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)
at System.IO.FileStream.Init(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, Int32 rights, Boolean useRights, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize, FileOptions options, SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES secAttrs, String msgPath, Boolean bFromProxy, Boolean useLongPath, Boolean checkHost)
at System.IO.FileStream..ctor(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, FileShare share)
at RoRLauncher.MainWindow.Unpack(String fileName)

The second one is when I click "connect" and it gets replaced with:

Error starting: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\Users\New User\Desktop\Warhammer Online - Age of Reckoning\WAR.exe' is denied.
at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)

You're mostly going to get the same answers that are in the stickied thread linked above your post. Since you've tried a couple things, I'll feed you the specific area you should have checked. I would go with unblocking being needed.

Access was denied to the path or file WAR.exe!

Unblock the launcher. (right click RoRLauncher.exe -> properties -> click Unblock button)

Remove the write-protection (right click the game folder -> properties -> disable read-only) from all the files in the WAR folder and try again. You may also try running the launcher with Administrator privileges.

If you used the torrent to download the game, the torrent application may still be using the files. Either copy the entire WAR folder to a new location (if you wish to continue supporting the torrent), or move the entire WAR folder to another location to break access to the torrent.
