Stuck at "Checking for Updates to PAL" during setup #4

During setup, I generated a personal API token in my github profile, and added it to PAL. I'm not sure if there could be permissions missing from my token, so that could play into this. I gave it full REPO access permission, which seems like everything it should need.

Two issues seem to stem from this:

1) Indefinite hanging in "Checking for Updates to PAL" step of setup. 2) Cannot remove the API token to bypass this step if I try to restart setup.

I could see this being related to the "Unable to get downloads to start" issue, if it's trying to download the latest from GitHub but failing to do so.

I'm going to reinstall from the zip file and start over to see if that fixes it. I'll also attempt without the API Token, since I assume there's a way to add that in the GUI later.

Nevermind, just gotta run it as an admin from the folder itself. Might want to consider adding an error when the program doesn't have permission to download or save updates, but otherwise this was user error.
