[Bug]: Errors due to folder permission #746

Description

@wastedbits

Before reporting

  • I'm on the latest release and the issue still happens.
  • I searched existing issues and didn't find a duplicate.

What happened?

I am getting this error

[stemdeck] failed to write migration flag: Access is denied. (os error 5)

I believe it is due to folder permission

I have placed the Stemdeck installation under Program Files (x86)
When I run the Stemdeck.exe (via a DT shortcut or directly), I get the error mentioned above.
When I give the Exe permission to run as Administrator, everything is fine.

Would it be better UX, for App to ask for the permission via popup before continuing?

Operating system

Windows

StemDeck version

0.19.1

How did you install it?

Windows Zip

Logs / screenshots
