The error still persist when running the terminal as admin

It looks like the CLI is trying to access Application Data but that folder no longer exists (Windows 11), it should go to AppData (the new folder).

Different error in Ubuntu, but the same vibes.

for now, you can just delete the components.json file and then run again npx shadcn@latest init inside the project

@davidaragundy is this for a new project or an existing one (with a components.json)?

If you have a components.json, you can also try with init --force
