Trying to install a new VASSAL module and I always get this error:

I do not have this problem with any other module. It always happens at the same point in the installation.

Running Win7

Latest JAVA
Intel Core i5-3570k
VASSAL 3.2.17

Thus spake TTC:

Trying to install a new VASSAL module and I always get this error:

Socket Error:
The socket over which the Module Manager communicates has had a fault.
Please restart VASSAL.

I do not have this problem with any other module. It always happens at
the same point in the installation.

Running Win7
8 GB RAM
Latest JAVA
Intel Core i5-3570k
VASSAL 3.2.17

java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException: java.io.IOException: Unable to
delete directory
C:\Users[TTC]\AppData\Roaming\VASSAL\tiles\a0943df4fe43d1199b67984f7f064b48c089b538\e.

You’re having a permissions problem with the directory shown here. You
can delete C:\Users[TTC]\AppData\Roaming\VASSAL\tiles safely, as that
entire directory is generated by VASSAL when it runs.

Thanks. I tried that–deleting the entire “tiles” directory–but I still got the error when I hit the 43% installation mark.

Of course the “tiles” folder has returned, but it is now empty.

Changed the folder, made sure that my permissions weren’t READ ONLY, and got this error report (same initial error):
