Filesystem permission issue after 5.2 Beta 8 with MSIX installations. #8

I'm opening this issue to track the state of this situation and to discuss the efficient workarounds.

I've seen that people have encountered an issue that prevents editing bitwig.jar in C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Bitwig.Studio.Beta_<version_number>_x64_<hash>\ folder after 5.2 Beta 8 comes with MSIX installation method.

I wanted to test it with a Windows VM. I've changed WindowsApps folder ownership from NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller to Everyone fixed this issue on my end.

This change may cause instability among Windows Store applications, although I haven't encountered any. In such cases, you can revert the ownership. No matter what, use at your own risk!

Here is the steps to workaround this issue on my end:

If that's not working somehow, you can use a 3rd party tool like iobit unclocker or lockhunter to workaround this issue.

Edit: Using TakeOwnershipPro looks like the best option for now.

It looks like MSIX is like Flatpak for Windows, huh?

I tried the method in the video, everything is unlocked except the bitwig folder which gives an error, iobit gives me a blue screen, and lockhunter can't unlock it... Someone in the same situation?

Someone from the community mentioned that s/he solved the problem with a 3rd party program called "TakeOwnershipPro". You can try to give it a shot.
