Installation Error & Wallpaper Issue

[Alatos]

So today I wanted to restart my collection of wallpapers and start brand new since I had kept getting an error that one of my wallpapers was missing and that I just wanted to re-do all the wallpapers in general. But after trying to install a few wallpapers, I found that they wouldn't play at all, on either one of my monitors. I tried verifying and reinstalling but ran into a brand new issue. https://imgur.com/a/k21xnOZ This is what comes up each time I try to reinstall the program. Running in admin mode doesn't help, and have tried other fixes that have been provided in other scenarios, but those don't work either (messing with Window's visual settings, trying some Wallpaper Engine settings, etc.) Anyone got an idea of what might fix this? Thank you.

Hey,

looks like you have some sort of file permission issue. First of all, don't run Wallpaper Engine or Steam as administrator, it can cause file permission and other problems.

The second error is actually a Unity error coming from the Wallpaper you are trying to use directly, I assume that it was not properly downloaded, is corrupted or there is yet another file permissions problem.

My suggestion would be to turn off Wallpaper Engine (also check the task manager processes), turn of Steam and then delete your workshop directory, which, in your case, is at E:/SteamLibrary/steamapps/workshop. Afterwards also delete your wallpaper_engine directory which is likely in Steam\SteamApps\common\wallpaper_engine when starting in your Steam directory.

Try starting Steam normally and re-install again. If this is not working you may have an anti-virus or something like that blocking Steam from writing Workshop files, for example.
