Windows 11 corporate level security settings and version_updater

ISSUE: Looking to run the LBT version_updater in an environment where i must login as a local machine administrator. In order to run the Python executable which governs the updater i must have adnin privileges. My normal login does not allow such action. Therefore we have a system where administration login can be just for the installation. After installation Ladybug does not load. Diagnosis reveals this is because after updating the sub directories of LadybugTools in program files are not readable by other than the installer username and password.

I suspect there’s a minor coding error that does not occur when the pollination installer is run

If you have access to the Pollination installer, try running the update through it. The installer might handle file permissions differently, potentially avoiding the issue.

I do have the same problems. The subdirectories created by the installer are only readable to admins. Please modify the installer to grant reading permissions to all users.
