I recently updated to Windows 11 and now I’m trying to reinstall ShaderMap 4. I get this error message during installation. I’ve tried running it as an administrator, but the issue persists. I’m not sure what to do next, so I’m asking for help.

Error text:

Copy File Failed

"C:\Program Files\ShaderMap 4\res\templates\" -> "C:\Users\Ejer\Documents\ShaderMap\SM4_3\Libs\Template\"

  • copy_directory_contents_to_directory()

file_dialog_functions.cpp:853

    This is the Copy File Error. A solution can be found in this thread.

    For some reason, Windows Indexing causes this error.

    After some trail and error i got it to work. In addition the the above solution, also, uncheck "Folder is ready for archiving."

    Here's a step-by-step solution that worked for me:

    Navigate to your Documents folder and find the ShaderMap directory.
    Right-click on the folder and select "Properties."
    Under the "General" tab, click on "Advanced..."
    Uncheck the box that says "Allow files in this folder to have contents indexed in addition to file properties."
    Also, uncheck "Folder is ready for archiving."
    Click "OK" to save the changes and close the properties window.
    Repeat these steps for the ShaderMap installation directory (where the program is installed).
    After doing this, ShaderMap should load without errors.
    Hope this helps!
