Error opening file for writing: C:\Program Files\Pylo\MCreator\mcreator.exe"
Sun, 09/29/2019 - 15:24 (edited)

I'm trying to uninstall MCreator 1.9.0 and get 1.9.1, when installing 1.9.1 it is saying "Error opening file for writing: C:\Program Files\Pylo\MCreaotr\mcreator.exe Click Abort to stop the Installation, Retry to try again, or Ignore to skip this file." then there are 3 buttons "Abort" "Retry" and "Ignore" I have ignored all the Errors but whenever It is launching, its stuck at "initiating connections" so I'm guessing it's because of these errors? I'm not sure how to fix this and I need help ASAP.

A image might help with this.

Try re-downloading the installer again and running the installer as administrator.

I had a similar issue with MCreator 2021.2. I already had 2020.2 installed so when I opened the 2021 installer it asked if I wanted to uninstall the previous version first. Well doing so doesn't actually uninstall it all the way (at least in my case). So go to your Pylo install folder and make sure it is completely uninstalled then delete the folder and run the installer again. This worked for me.
