Running ImageGlass 9 as non-administrator works just fine so I'm pretty sure I have everything installed...

EDIT: Yep...

I wasn't talking about having everything installed, I was talking about having all permissions changed correctly.

The issue is as the error message: MS Edge can't read and write to its directory: C:\Program Files\ImageGlass\WebUIData\EBWebView

I think you use portable version. When IG cannot write config to C:\Program Files\ImageGlass\, IG use %localappdata%\ImageGlass folder as config folder. About your case, IG might have write permission to C:\Program Files\ImageGlass\ but C:\Program Files\ImageGlass\WebUIData\EBWebView.

The folder C:\Program Files\ImageGlass should be read-only as always.

@d2phap I'm not using the portable version. I installed it with the .msi file here on github. And ImageGlass works fine when not running as administrator.

My C:\Program Files\ImageGlass\ is read-only:

Oh! That worked! Thank you!

But... I feel like I shouldn't have to do this to make ImageGlass work correctly...
