Doc Issue: Google sign-in window when folder-permission issues #2640

When you're installing the Windows client, if you're using a Windows installation with one (or both, I'm not sure):

The webview that opens for Google authentication will hang and remain blank. If you launch the BlueBubbles app with admin privileges, you get this error: client-sign-in-issue

One solution is to add Full control permissions to the Users group for the root installation folder (or specifically the bluebubbles_app.exe.WebView2 folder if it was able to be created).

Another solution might be to run the installation program as an Administrator, but I haven't gone back and tried that.

Confirmed, going to C:\Program Files (x86)\BlueBubbles and setting Full Control permissions for everything for the "bluebubbles_app.exe.WebView2" folder works around the issue.
