Start.bat is not working

Anytime I open the bat file this is what comes up when it tries to start.

Hi,
this is because under Windows you don't have write permissions in the "Program Files" folder.
You need to install the server under your own User folder so that write permissions are granted.

Hope it helps

Are you talking about the server folder? Because it's in the sfs program files.

You have installed SFS2X under "C:\Program Files (x86)\..." which doesn't provide file write permissions.
Please uninstall SFS2X and re-install it back in a folder under your User directory, which typically is C:\Users\<YourUserNam>\

Thanks

But I use SfS Pro

It's the same thing. The permission issue is due to your operating system (Windows) not what version of SFS you're using
