Are you running the commands with an administrator account?


The only message I get after pressing enter is: https://imgur.com/a/zed0TvP

Access denied means you don't have enough privileges to create that folder.



Next I tried running PowerShell as Administer, giving me a whole new error: https://imgur.com/a/NYNuNo6

It can't find lnd.exe because it is not in the current directory. Navigate to the directory where the .exe is placed (seems to be C:\Users\Ezra\), then try it again.




Finally, I moved my Lnd folder back into %localappdata% and tried to launch lnd.exe through PowerShell (non-administrator) using all the same commands/flags as before, resulting in this error message: https://imgur.com/a/0gTgXrj

Same as the first, Access denied.
You seem to not have enough privileges (which is quite weird). Are you on a 'guest' account? Or an administrator account?
