Might be that it got corrupted when it did not work before. or something else has the file open so it cant resave it

16.1 out now. It should now load config file using UTF8 encoded path. so it is not fail on path containing special characters

Thank you! Now it kinda starts. I'm not getting the previous error message, but it looks like it cannot read or save the config files. It says Access Denied, even if I run it as admin.

I've never used installable versions. Portable only.

Hi Mathias, thanks for your quick reply.
I'm running it on Windows 11 Pro (26200.8655).
My user name does contain a special character "é", but MC has been working fine until today within the same path.
I tried Portable version from an easier path. First run was ok, I restarted it and I'm getting the same error again, pointing at the same original path (AppData\Roaming...).
I'm attaching one of the logs I got.

Xml handling in MC is done from a 3rd party library. and all of them are updated. and I saw something that they do not handle Windows UTF16 encoded path anymore.. so must be UTF8 encoded.. so I think that that might be the reason

Not sure.
Maybe it is not portable and reading settings from other settings folder and that had the change to CustomKeymapping.xml that was not needed. since the issue was something else ?

But why did it stop working in the backed-up portable versions?

I can't replicate that..

What OS ?
You have any security software that might block MC from reading it ?
You have something else that are unique for your system ?
Do you have special characters in your user name ? so the path to the config folder has none standard a-z character ? if yes.. Do portable version work if started from a folder in the root eg C:\MCPortable16\

Is there anything more details about the error in the error log , the latest *-MultiCommander.log located in
C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\MultiCommander\Logs\ 

(look in the last couple of row in the file if there are any information about it)
