Hello, I had this problem...
I have redownload the zero-k again and when I finish downloading the installer it prompt me up a install directory which is by default is C\Users\#####\My Documents\My games\Spring. but when I hit "ok" I get a startup directory is not writable Zero-k.exe will be move to the same directory as was placed in the text box of the installation box. I never get any "moved failed" problem though. my curiosity is... is that normal on a first time run on a new System Unit?

This is a known bug. You can safely ignore it and ZK will work fine.

It absolutely is a bug, though. I imagine CZrankAdminLicho is too busy to look at it, though.

Anybody know when, exactly, it occurs? I see it on my machine repeatedly... but not consistently every boot. Does it occur after upgrade?

It displays every time I start up the game. As it doesn't seem to provide any additional inconvenience in addition to a pop-up message I haven't been bothered by it.

I used to have it, but now it's gone. I think I fixed it by (accidentally) installing Zero-k twice. I installed it to C:\Users\Flipstip\Documents\My Games\Spring and to C:\Users\Flipstip\Documents\My Games\Zero-k.
The installation in \Spring doesn't have the pop-up, but the one in Zero-k has it. But don't ask me why. (In case you're wondering why I keep the installation in \Zero-k, sometimes when Zero-K lobby breaks due to some update, I can fix it by starting up the other copy of the lobby)

Obvious solution would be to get rid of the message at all.

Shouldn't be hard.

right click the install
click "run as administrator"
watch as it mans up and just does it

To be clear I've had this issue every time I've had to reinstall, this fixes it for me

This happens to me if I open from Start Menu, but not if I open from My Games/Spring/Zero-K.exe.
