(Windows 10) Unable to Register Simulator

SDK Get Help
1

When I try to register my simulator via the main website -> account -> sim -> register, the console opens and I see the following output.

21:55:44: SDK: C:\Program Files\PlaydateSDK
21:55:44: Release: 1.11.1
21:55:44: SetupDiGetDeviceRegistryProperty failed (122) (required size=560)
21:55:44: Loading: C:\Program Files\PlaydateSDK\Disk\System\Launcher.pdx
21:55:44: Loading: OK
update failed: listView.lua:681: Couldn't open file at launcherprefs.tmp: Permission denied
stack traceback:

	listView.lua:615: in method 'setup'
	main.lua:62: in function <main.lua:58>
21:55:44: Update failed, simulator paused.

I haven't adjusted anything yet, this is a fresh (re-)install.

It looks like you need to install the SDK in a writable location and try again. You also don't need to register the Simulator to use it. :slight_smile:

I'll have to try moving the install then. I installed it at C:\Program Files for cleanliness sake, didn't think that'd impact functionality.

And I had likely guessed that registering wasn't necessary, I just wanted to do it.
