Hey there. Can you send a screenshot of any errors you're receiving?

broken shuttle Dec 12, 2024, 1:12 AM

#

Could you please try deleting any WeMod folders from these two locations, then try re-installing WeMod?

C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local
and
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming

DO NOT DELETE ALL FILES AND FOLDERS IN THIS LOCATION. ONLY THE WEMOD FOLDERS

gray musk Dec 13, 2024, 6:57 AM

#

The thing is i dont see AppData

broken shuttle Dec 13, 2024, 7:08 AM

#

AppData is a hidden folder on Windows for a good reason. Adding, deleting and/or editing stuff in there can break things unless you know what you're doing. It's better to copy and paste those locations in the File Explorer address bar

#

When you do go to the Local and Roaming folders, do NOT delete anything except for the WeMod folders, if they exist there

gray musk Dec 14, 2024, 1:26 AM

#

its not letting me delete the local file but it did for roaming

broken shuttle Dec 14, 2024, 2:18 AM

#

gray musk its not letting me delete the local file but it did for roaming

Try restarting your computer, then try deleting the WeMod folder out of the Roaming location

gray musk Dec 14, 2024, 2:27 AM

#

it is deleted from roaming but wont delete from local, i try dragging it to recycle can can and it doesnt work, and it says likee the files are corrupted

broken shuttle Dec 14, 2024, 2:29 AM

#

Oh sorry, misread that. Try restarting your computer, then try deleting the WeMod folder out of the Local location

gray musk Dec 14, 2024, 2:29 AM

#

i just did that and nothing happened

broken shuttle Dec 14, 2024, 2:29 AM

#

What does the error look like exactly when you try to delete it?

gray musk Dec 14, 2024, 2:30 AM

#

gives me no error, just doesnt let me delete

#

it says "this file or directory is corrupted and unreadable"

broken shuttle Dec 14, 2024, 2:32 AM

#

Could you try perma-deleting the folder (skips the recycle bin) by holding the Shift key on your keyboard, then pressing the Delete button on your keyboard?

gray musk Dec 14, 2024, 2:33 AM

#

still there😭

broken shuttle Dec 14, 2024, 2:41 AM

#

Okay, try taking ownership of the folder forcefully, then try deleting it

Open Command Prompt as an administrator
Type the following command, or copy and paste it: takeown /f C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\WeMod /r /d y
Press Enter on your keyboard to run the command

Once you've taken ownership of the folder, try deleting it then and see if that works

gray musk Dec 14, 2024, 2:43 AM

#

i copied and paisted what you said to, it js says ERROR: File or Directory not found.

broken shuttle Dec 14, 2024, 2:43 AM

#

Sorry, I messed up the command. Give it another try

#

I just updated it

gray musk Dec 14, 2024, 2:43 AM

#

do i add the takeown?

broken shuttle Dec 14, 2024, 2:43 AM

#

yep

gray musk Dec 14, 2024, 2:43 AM

#

takeown /f C:\Users%username%\AppData\Local\WeMod /r /d y

#

like that?

broken shuttle Dec 14, 2024, 2:43 AM

#

Yep, like that

gray musk Dec 14, 2024, 2:44 AM

#

says same thing unless im typing it wrong

broken shuttle Dec 14, 2024, 2:44 AM

#

What does it look like on your end?

gray musk Dec 14, 2024, 2:44 AM

#

how do i ss on pc

broken shuttle Dec 14, 2024, 2:44 AM

#

Using the Snipping Tool application is the easiest way

gray musk Dec 14, 2024, 2:45 AM

#

#

do i add my username lol

broken shuttle Dec 14, 2024, 2:46 AM

#

Nah, %username% is a variable that adds it for you...

gray musk Dec 14, 2024, 2:46 AM

#

oh ok

broken shuttle Dec 14, 2024, 2:46 AM

#

In that case, give this one a try:

Open Command Prompt as administrator
Type the first command, or copy and paste it: cd C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local
Press Enter to run the command
After the directory has changed, run this new command: rmdir /s /q WeMod

gray musk Dec 14, 2024, 2:47 AM

#

The system cannot find the file specified.

broken shuttle Dec 14, 2024, 2:47 AM

#

So I'd say that the folder's actually been deleted, but Windows still shows it for some reason...

gray musk Dec 14, 2024, 2:48 AM

#

then why does it still show error when i try to download it, is it because its going to D drive?

broken shuttle Dec 14, 2024, 2:50 AM

#

How do you know it's trying to install to the D: drive?

gray musk Dec 14, 2024, 2:50 AM

#

thats what i have it set to on chrome, thats default download location for me

#

should i try to download from edge?

broken shuttle Dec 14, 2024, 2:51 AM

#

The WeMod installer will always attempt to install to the C:\Users\%username%\AppData Roaming and Local folders. This can't change

gray musk Dec 14, 2024, 2:51 AM

#

oh okay

broken shuttle Dec 14, 2024, 2:52 AM

#

As you've deleted the folders, if installing it again from there won't work, try adding the WeMod installer as well as the locations WeMod gets installed to as an exception to your antivirus application

digital iglooBOT Dec 14, 2024, 2:52 AM

#

If you’re experiencing issues with WeMod, your antivirus software might be interfering. To resolve this, try whitelisting or adding exceptions for the following folders:
- C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\WeMod

C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\WeMod

gray musk Dec 14, 2024, 2:53 AM

#

wdym

broken shuttle Dec 14, 2024, 2:53 AM

#

Which antivirus do you have? If you think you have none, you likely have Microsoft Defender.

gray musk Dec 14, 2024, 2:54 AM

#

i have no antivirus, i believe i turned off microsoft defender

#

nvm everything is on

broken shuttle Dec 14, 2024, 2:54 AM

#

Alright. It's not recommended to turn it off

#

Rather, you can add exclusions to it

gray musk Dec 14, 2024, 2:54 AM

#

how do i do that

broken shuttle Dec 14, 2024, 2:55 AM

gray musk Dec 14, 2024, 2:56 AM

#

okay im there

#

what do i add

broken shuttle Dec 14, 2024, 2:57 AM

#

Add these two folders

digital iglooBOT Dec 14, 2024, 2:57 AM

#

If you’re experiencing issues with WeMod, your antivirus software might be interfering. To resolve this, try whitelisting or adding exceptions for the following folders:
- C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\WeMod

C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\WeMod

broken shuttle Dec 14, 2024, 2:57 AM

#

As well as the WeMod installer file that was downloaded to your D: drive

#

If you can't add those two folders manually, just add the installer file first

gray musk Dec 14, 2024, 2:58 AM

#

i already deleted the one from roaming

#

and d drive

broken shuttle Dec 14, 2024, 2:59 AM

#

Okay. Re-download the installer then, and then before running it, add it as an exception to your antivirus

gray musk Dec 14, 2024, 3:00 AM

#

folder or file? when i chose folder it doesnt pop up

broken shuttle Dec 14, 2024, 3:00 AM

#

File

gray musk Dec 14, 2024, 3:00 AM

#

okay the file-wemodsetup is added

#

now i open the file?\

broken shuttle Dec 14, 2024, 3:01 AM

#

Yep, give it a try

gray musk Dec 14, 2024, 3:02 AM

#

broken shuttle Dec 14, 2024, 3:03 AM

#

Can you open the setup log, save it somewhere, and then send it here?

gray musk Dec 14, 2024, 3:04 AM

#

📎 SquirrelSetup.log

broken shuttle Dec 14, 2024, 3:07 AM

#

Hmm. It's only showing the Discord setup log...

Could you try deleting the SquirrelSetup.log file from C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\SquirrelTemp and try installing again? Hopefully, it should create a new SquirrelSetup.log file and provide more information

gray musk Dec 14, 2024, 3:09 AM

#

now its not popping up

#

im so confused

broken shuttle Dec 14, 2024, 3:12 AM

#

Okay, I've just looked up something. Apparently, when some apps don't delete their install files, it can cause issues, especially with the Squirrel installer.

Try deleting the entire SquirrelTemp folder, restart your PC, and try running the installer again

Wemod keeps trying to install into the Discord Directory

This happens when apps don’t delete their install files. Delete the squirreltemp folder in appdata local then restart your PC and run the installer again.

gray musk Dec 14, 2024, 3:13 AM

#

okay deleted, restarting now

#

no still a error

broken shuttle Dec 17, 2024, 6:27 AM

#

Hey @gray musk ! Sorry for the delayed response on this one. If you're still having issues installing WeMod, can you try moving the installer to the C: drive and see if that helps at all? I don't think it will make a difference, but you never know

gray musk Dec 18, 2024, 5:56 AM

#

Yk ill have to try that, bc it worked before i switched my downloads to D: drive

gray musk Dec 18, 2024, 9:34 AM

#

it worked
