What can i do with this?

[Eternal-]

C:\ProgramData\FAForever open access for everyone, or try give yourself full access with subfolders

@eternal How i can do it?

[Marekkas]

Ok, done. Thanks

@Marekkas If you tell us how you did it, then others could profit from it who have the same problem.

Most likely Right click -> Properties -> Security (maybe advanced if issue was more complicated).

For anyone reaching this page and being lost, look up change permission in Windows, plenty of nice guides out there.

[Katharsas]

The better way to do this is to do a permission reset, which resets folder and child permission back to default settings.

• Open CMD as admin.
• To reset permissions for a folder, its files, and subfolders, run the command icacls "full path to the folder" /reset /t /c /l

So in this case:
icacls "C:\ProgramData\FAForever" /reset /t /c /l

@Pipo
please don't doublepost:
https://forum.faforever.com/topic/4943/java-startup-error/3

Also it's not the same problem, here we have a AccessDeniedException error.
(you error is a Tag mismatch)
