Changes to the Play Attention Cloud services require a fundamental change to the configuration of the application. Please run this app as an Administrator. Also, please note that this update is for the PA6 version of Play Attention. Running this update on a PA5 version will not have any effect, although you will see 2 "file not found" errors. If the updater does not find a file in the place it's expected to be you will see the message below, or something similar. Don't worry, click okay. Another window will appear with a message about the next file, and should say "Done!" and "Updated!"
