[legendarysword2]

So I got my computer back from the shop because I had some problems upgrading to windows 11 and after it was a upgraded and fixed, I tried to download a artists files and it game me a error code. I even tried another artist I had previously downloaded and it still had the same error. So I don't know if has to do with the windows 11 upgrade or a problem with the app, I did try redownloading and extracting the latest release as well and it still got the same error

User error. You are trying to run PatreonDownloader while being in a wrong folder.

It’s the same folder I always use and it works every time except for this time and it’s been working for almost a year. I haven’t moved it.

The error message indicates that you are attempting to run PatreonDownloader.App.exe from C:\WINDOWS\system32, which is a system folder. You should not, under any circumstances, install a program into that folder. If this is the folder that you placed the app into, it may have been removed since it does not belong in that folder. If that is not the folder that you placed the app into, then you need to use cd to move to the folder containing it. In either case, the error message is very clear: the program does not exist in the folder you are attempting to launch it from.

Download the program, place it in a non-system folder, and use cd to move your command prompt to that folder before attempting to launch the program.

That error is already being addressed (#259) and will be fixed when the developer has the chance.
