Hi,
i'm trying to install Everest but it says "MiniInstaller died a brutal death".
What can i do?
#"MiniInstaller died a brutal death" when installing everest
chrome galleon
simple forge
Unhandled exception. System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\Users\33767\Desktop\Nouveau dossier\steamapps\common\Celeste\miniinstaller-log.txt' is denied.
seems to be some kind of permissions issue?
actually why is your steam dir in your desktop??
chrome galleon
I don't know what steam dir is
chrome galleon
I access to steam by clicking on an icon in my desktop, is it this?
chrome galleon
How could I access to steam if it's not there?

isnt steam an application
you don't open the steam library folder and browse in its files
chrome galleon
Sorry I don't understand
dense slate
you have a folder called Nouveau dossier on your desktop and all your steam games are in there
that's something else than the steam shortcut (see image), which is just a shortcut to the steam client, wherever that happens to be installed
chrome galleon
And this folder is bad?
dense slate
the desktop might have weird file permission issues and is also generally a bad place to store files
chrome galleon
Ok so I have to find a way to authorize the access to this folder?
dense slate
maybe. the first thing you can try is just deleting the miniinstaller-log.txt
chrome galleon
Ok
dense slate
if that doesn't work, ideally you just move your steam library to a normal place
chrome galleon
What is a normal place?(Deleting the .txt didn't worked)
dense slate
idk somewhere in your user folder is probably the easiest
chrome galleon
I don't know what is my user folder
dense slate
C:\Users\33767\
I would say "where all your images and documents etc are" but given the previous messages I'm not too confident about that
chrome galleon
isn't it already in my user folder?
dense slate
well, it's on your desktop. which is technically in your user folder but has some special handling
chrome galleon
ok let's try moving it
I can't find , i think i'll retry later when i'll change my laptop to a new one

the desktop might have weird file permission issues and is also generally a bad ...
isn't the default wherever steam is installed
like C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common
dense slate
yes
but moving stuff back there might require admin permissions
installers generally ask for admin
autumn idol
pretty sure it never did
