Can't install Add-ons
Hello, I can't install add-ons. It always says "A problem occured when trying to create files necessary to install this add-on." I've experienced this issue with both non-steam and steam version of the game (congrats for the Steam version btw ). Thank you for any help.
Re: Can't install Add-ons
I'm having the same issue
Re: Can't install Add-ons
Same problem here as well.
Re: Can't install Add-ons
Are you on windows10?
Maybe it's related to OneDrive. Get rid of that, maybe.

Re: Can't install Add-ons
Thanks for the tip, I'm using Win 10 and there was some mysterious problem with my OneDrive not a long time ago (I wasn't able to upgrade it). I'll try to fix it and than disable it (now I can't even access my OneDrive ). Thanks again.
Re: Can't install Add-ons
So I unistalled OneDrive but no luck Still can't install add-ons.
Re: Can't install Add-ons
Is your folder with wesnoth writable? (not read only? not admin protected?)
C:\Users\Admin\Documents\My Games\Wesnoth1.14
maybe you installed it as admin account and now using some non-admin account?
These are just my noob ideas.. i'm not really sure if this can be the problem.. hopefuly some more advanced people here give you better advice...
Re: Can't install Add-ons
My Win10 puts addons to:
C:\Users\Zap-Zarap\Documents\MyGames\Wesnoth1.14\data\add-ons\...
No admin account
My installation process:
- download from sourceforge as user "Zap-Zarap" (non-admin)
- click (as Zap-Zarap) on the installer package
- now system asks me for admin password
- Wesnoth-stuff is installed in my User\Zap-Zarap\Documents thing.

Re: Can't install Add-ons
Your Anti-Virus software is blocking/preventing Wesnoth from downloading add-ons. Possible solutions: Wesnoth as an exception, switch antivirus off or uninstall the antivirus software.
(I have experienced the same problem myself and just uninstalled Avast to solve it)
