We could also just not update. This is what I am going to do until it is working?
Do you know how long this will be the case?
Will we be notified?

p.s. or more precise, will I never be able to upgrade with uac turned off?

I had UAC off, tried turning it on, and this did not solve it for me.

After lot of work finding a way install action 1.25.0 in the default directory (because it wasn't with my previous version), I can confirm this does make it to load properly. I may however downgrade anyway, and waiting for a proper solution.
And I suggest people uninstall 1.24.3 or lower, before messing with 1.25.

The steam version doesn't seem to be affected.
