2025.30280 - Installer "paletteData.json" error

The new experimental installer 2025.30280 shows an access error for “paletteData.json”. This also occurs when running the install as Admin…

Hi @rs3dtouch,

the installer attempts to copy a file into {userdocs}/Derivative/Palette called paletteData.json but only if the file does not already exist. I’m surprised you get an access error.

Could you see if this still happens after a restart?
Could you share the full error message or dialog?

cheers

I installed it as a parallel build… maybe that’s why?

I had to uninstall it to check for the error message about paletteData (not Datapalette, sorry), and when trying to re-install Windows Security popped up… and I got this error (both messages in one image).

Hope this helps. (Windows 10 btw)

Hi @rs3dtouch,

hm - that would explain the issue but not why it is happening in the first place.It is really just checking if the file exists and copying one over if it’s not yet there.

If this is happening you can click on “Skip this file” without any issues for running TouchDesigner.

The parallel installation should not matter in this case.

cheers
Markus
