Hi, I cannot use the app as when I try to convert or play FLAC files it shows

The decoder process failed on the file (FILE NAME) to wave format. It is possible your logon account does not have write access to "C:\Users\(my name)\AppData\Local\Temp"

AI, which isn't always 100% accurate, offers this...

" The error means that the software could not write temporary files to the specified folder, likely due to lacking file system permissions for that folder.

Causes and Solutions

This issue commonly occurs if the user account doesn't have permission to write to the Temp folder, or if another application is using or locking it.
It can also be triggered if the file being converted is copy-protected, though the error seen here is specifically related to write permissions.

Steps to Fix

Ensure write access to the Temp folder:
- Navigate to C:\Users$$your name)\AppData\Local\Temp.
- Right-click the folder, select "Properties," then go to the "Security" tab and make sure your account has "Write" permissions.
Try running NCH Switch as an administrator. Right-click the NCH Switch shortcut and choose "Run as administrator" to grant extra permissions automatically.
Make sure there is enough space in the Temp folder and that it is not being used by another program.
Try setting a different Temp folder in NCH Switch settings if available."

Run the program as an administrator or change the temporary folder path in the app settings to bypass the write-access error.
