if I click ignore

etc

note, I have no C:\Users\dinof\Documents\My music

directory

shell:music points to D:\music

Seems that it is assuming that my music dir hasn't been reassigned

Probably not Windows 11 specific and indeed very likely just because the directory has been re-assigned. You could just create the directory as a workaround.

I don't think this project is actively maintained anymore so I wouldn't wait for one of the official maintainers to fix the installer and other issues. I'm currently maintaining my own fork and you can find my latest builds on http://martchus.no-ip.biz/repo/arch/ownstuff/os/x86_64 (search for "mingw-w64-pianobooster-custom"). Those builds don't contain an installer (you just have to extract the archive). (My builds, especially the CLI wrapper you likely don't need anyways, are sometimes wrongly considered harmful by AV software.)

I can't make such a dir. Windows won't allow it, as it has been reassigned to d:\music

Really? I would have expected that the directory can still be created (and it just wouldn't have a special assignment). Then I'm not sure how to workaround but maybe creating a symlink would work (which is not completely trivial under Windows as you probably need to enable the developer mode).

I must say I don't find it generally very nice that the installer is "trashing" one's music directory.
