In a previous version of the add-on we’ve had the add-on change permission of files in an attempt to fix permission errors occurring during add-on updates on Windows. The permission errors were caused by Anki not being able to move files which were opened for writing (log files). The code for changing permissions had a bug… and it caused permission errors like the one above. This was some time ago, but some users still have the old add-on version.
We have a bunch of these reports on the AnkiHub…
The error message seems to imply you do have the add-on already - or at least one or more of its files. If it’s not appearing in the list of add-ons, you may need to manually remove the files.
