There was an error during the validation process and it has been stopped.

Failed to open the file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Desura\Cache\games\21395\\b5672_m10.mcf' [9.3]

When attempting to install Diehard Dungeon. I'm guessing the error is being caused by Desura's strange decision to search for a completely invalid file path. The question is, how do I fix it?

If your using windows, if Desura is not run as an administrator for permissions its probably struggling to access the program files as most programs do. Main reason why my desura and steam folders are now on my desktop rather than in my program files. Otherwise go to the launcher and set ran as administrator to yes
