The install seems to have failed. If this problem is recurring, join our discord community for support. https://betterdiscord.app/invite

I tried to give the installer more permission but it's still not working and shows the same log

Make sure Discord is closed and try again.

So far what's helped most people is any of these options:

1. SFC /scannow and let Windows fix permission issues, make sure Discord and the installer are both closed.
2. take ownership of the asar file in %appdata%/betterdiscord/data with Discord closed (no Discord processes in Task Manager) and the installer closed so it's not trying to access that file, then run the installer again and install.
3. Run the old installer, uninstall, close old installer, run the new installer, install.

I am also getting this message even when Discord is not open. I am on Win 11 and using the new v2.0.0 Things were working on v1.1.4

That's a different error. Try restarting your computer, if that doesn't work, make your own thread
