Tony Conway Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Just got a new Win11 PC and can't get cakewalk to download. I get to 'Downloading additional files ...' then it's Error reading data: (12175) A security error occured. Can anyone help me please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristTheGreat Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 (edited) I'm having the same issue. I had another PC on windows 11, working fine, then Just upgrade to new hardware, reinstalling cakewalk, and I got this error.... Very frustrating. I followed the link, but still doesn't work.

milan12345 Posted Monday at 09:24 AM Share Posted Monday at 09:24 AM Hi, i had the same issue what worked for me on windows 11 is that win 11 doesn't have Program Data folder in C directory, and that is the only location that cakewalk will install to. What i did to fix it is I created a "Program Data" folder in my C:// directory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Stanton Posted Monday at 02:03 PM Share Posted Monday at 02:03 PM in W11 the default is "C:\ProgramData" which is different than W10 which has "C:\Program Data" - either someone in MS oops or they found having a space in the directory name was always a bad choice and caused more issues than not...

pwal³ Posted Monday at 03:33 PM Share Posted Monday at 03:33 PM but either (both) are system dependent, so the app should use some %reference% to figure out where it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
