I see an error message when I try to use the YT Sniffer that says: Cannot find YTSniffer Executable File (run.exe)

Go to:

C: Program Files (x86)/Song Surgeon 4/

In this folder look for the following files

run.exe.new

If you have this file then rename it to run.exe. (deleting the .new suffix)

If you have neither run.exe OR run.exe.new in this folder than your Antivirus program
is blocking or deleting it and you will need to reinstall the program.
