Hey, I beleive I figured out how to fix this.

See below:

I believe I found the answer to this, I'm not entirely sure if this is correct, but from what I can understand is this.

ForgedAlliance.exe is missing from the bin folder in FAForever and after reinstalling FAF twice, the bin folder contains only two .lua files, init_coop.lua and init_faf.lua.

When FAF attempts to launch the game, it appears to search for ForgedAlliance.exe, can't find it and so downloads a copy of it into the FAF bin folder. For some reason, even with full permissions for all users, the program is not allowed to access this folder in order to change the temporary file it downloads to "ForgedAlliance.exe", which comes up with the original error message of not being allowed permission to do whatever it is trying to do.

The way around this was I snagged a copy of the temporary download and moved it out of the C:/ProgramData/FAForever/Bin to somewhere else that I had full access over, I changed its name to "ForgedAlliance.exe", changing it from a .temp file to an executable file, which was recognised as ForgedAlliance.exe and allows it to launch the game.

However, when trying to place this file back into the C:/ProgramData/FAForever/Bin, it won't let you due to permission reasons - To get around this:
[*] Copy the contents of the bin folder into a new folder where you moved the .temp file.
[*] Place the new ForgedAlliance.exe into this folder with the .lua files already in there.
[*] Delete the bin folder currently in C:/ProgramData/FAForever/Bin.
[*] Move your new bin folder into C:/ProgramData/FAForever
[*] Start your game and it should work.

It still gives me an error message about not being able to copy over some files, but it appears to work without an issue.

logs
java.util.concurrent.CompletionException: com.github.nocatch.NoCatchException: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\ForgedAlliance.exe" (in directory "C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin"): CreateProcess error=2, Не удается найти указанный файл

and then:
java.util.concurrent.CompletionException: java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException: C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\download13836385690708884317.tmp -> C:\ProgramData\FAForever\bin\ForgedAlliance.exe

and above: The game did not terminate correctly and has still certain files open. Some files from the installed game could not be copied over to FAF but unless you recently modified game files in the installed version you probably do not care. We are still starting the game for you.

re-installed SupCom, re-installed FAF, even try to copy game files into this folder manually, doesn't help
i have no this file, FAF trying to download it every time, but it just doesn't appears

When I click on the button about the beginning of the game the following error appears "The game did not terminate correctly and has still certain files open. Some files from the installed game could not be copied over to FAF but unless you recently modified game files in the installed version you probably do not care. We are still starting the game for you." Help solve please.
