Blessed Windows 10 for not making any notifications of what was going on.

I found the SoundPackager 10_9.9_beta.exe in my downloads folder and manually tried installing. It failed, but actually gave a better notification (Could not create a folder). I remember this happening when I first installed some other of your programs. Went into Windows Virus settings, History, and saw that they were quietly blocking your installer.

So I 'allowed' and tried again. Same error. Every time the installer would start, it would create a different-named installer, which I would have to allow (after it failed). I ended up disabling Windows Ransomware protection "Controlled folder access", and installing by itself, then re-enabling it. I expect I'll have to monitor the history for a while and 'allow' the fully-installed program to be able to modify system folders.

Just as a follow-up, I did not need to allow anything else after the install was finished. Controlled Folder Access only caused issues on the SoundPackager installer, not the app itself.

Does your installation file say the same File Version as mine does? (if you right-click on the installer, which I found in my Downloads folder, and click on Properties)

Because I know you are on the latest Win10 Insider build - we may have a fix (very soon) for this very issue.

Thank you for the report.
