The link you gave us is broken.


As long as you have the recovery seeds or private keys to your address you can recover the funds in your lost wallet unless someone else finds it before you and drain everything.

It says permission error, and that the access is denied so I would imagine, the wallet should not be corrupted, and the fund should still be safe. I'm just guessing here, but have you tried running Electrum as administrator?

If you have your seed backup, nothing would be lost.

Your coins are not lost as long as you have the private key/keys or seed of the address/addresses where you hold the coins. Maybe something corrupted one of the Electrum files needed to run the software. Perhaps you have multiple user accounts on your computer and the one you are currently using doesn't have the permissions to run the software. Or it could be an easy fix as right-clicking on the .exe file and running it as administrator. Whatever happens, you should always have your seed to fall back on if recovery is needed.

As long as you had the backup phrase or seeds, you would still be able to access your funds using another wallet software. The funds do not exist within the APP, but are rather on the blockchain.

It looks like your electrum app was incorrectly installed, and the installation used the C:\\Windows\\SysWOW64 directory, which is solely for Windows OS and requires permissions to read and write. Try to reinstall the app using a different directory that does not require permission

Why would you put an Electrum-portable executable in "SysWOW64" folder?
Of course, it wont be able to write the datadir in that protected Windows installation directory.

You can either:

• Move the portable electrum exe to a "normal" folder like "C://Program Files" (requires Administrator access) or to other partitions like "D:/".
  There, Electrum-portable will be able to create its "electrum_data" datadir where settings, wallets and other data will be saved.
  
  
• Or download and use the "Installer" (install it) or the "Stand-alone executable" so that the electrum datadir will be saved to its standard directory which is in "%appdata%" (roaming appdata)
