spotify install for those with appdata locked

rem Spotify update for those who cannot run from the appdata directories.
rem This process downloads the initial installer, runs it, moves the "Full" installer it installs to a place
rem from which we from which we can run it, then copies the Spotify program and other files that THAT installs
rem to the directory from which we desire to run it. It deletes the installers it downloads as it goes.
rem
rem Do not delete the Spotify installation from the Appdata directory, as Spotify appears to need it to run properly.
rem
rem Hit "Cancel" to the "Error 53" that the installer encounters, and then "OK" to the "Spotify could not be started" message. These
rem errors are expected, and indeed are why this process is necessary in the first place.

rem rem out the "echo off" below if you are debugging this batch file
echo off

set tempdir=%TEMP%
del %tempdir%\spot*.exe

rem Copy the spotify setup program to a directory from which it can be run

rem Now copy the installed spotify into the directory from which we wish to run it.
xcopy c:\users\%username%\appdata\roaming\spotify\* %localspotifyrundir% /s /y /q

rem (2021-06-11) and delete the spotify installer, if present. If this step does not work for you, find where spotify is storing the program
rem spotify_installer-(version and other junk).exe and modify this batch file to delete it

del c:\users\%username%\Appdata\Local\Spotify\Update\spotify*.exe

echo You should now be able to run Spotify from %localspotifyrundir%.
