Tiny Media Manager installation???? - Pisomojado - 2019-09-14
The Tiny Media Manager installation instructions for Windows proved insufficient for me.
All it says is "You should extract all the files from the (.zip) inside a folder". I tried opening the zip file and double clicking on "tinyMediaManager.exe". Windows offered to extract the files and asked me which folder to choose. I chose C:\Program Files All the files from the zip file were then vomited into my program files folder and I had to sort them out and corral them into a new folder I named "Tiny Media Manager".
Finally, I tried again to double click on "tinyMediaManager.exe" and got the error "Cannot write to TMM directory, have no rights - exiting."
Where did I go wrong? Please elaborate on the installation instructions to make them easier for those of us with mediocre computer skills to understand.

Tinymediamanager is a portable app and no installable app. So I would suggest to extract it somewhere in your home folder (C:\Users\<username>)
If you extract it to C:\program files\ the app is a shared app and needs more access rights to write the internal data..
