Apperntly I get the same error.

Windows 11 22H2, WDD Ver: 5.1.0 (UWP) Microsoft Store Version.

@aacar947 In the log file it has messages like the following:

[2022-12-03 06:57:09.058] System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file 'C:\Users\aacar\AppData\Local\Packages\38719TimothyJohnson.WinDynamicDesktop_rfarkse4rn21a\LocalState\themes\The_Cliffs.zip' because it is being used by another process.

This makes me wonder if there is another program on your system (perhaps antivirus software) that is holding the files open and has them locked. Could you navigate to these zip files in File Explorer, right-click on them, then select "What's using this file?" to see what process might be the culprit?

Sorry, keep forgetting to check GitHub for new notifications!

Here's my log file
WinDynamicDesktop.dll.log

Tried doing this, but I don't have any zipped files in that directory, all of my themes are unzipped.

There were some cases where WinDD attempted to extract the file while it was still locked for downloading. This error should be fixed in v5.3.0.
