I suspect that some of hidden "cache files" may have been be involved in the process, to which the software refer to when checking his own state. I see some of those sort of files appear from time to time. They do not always erase themselves properly when turning off the software and the computer.
So my advice (that comes from someone who owns 99% of IKmultimedia softwares, that I installed manually, which totalizes more than 200 zip files installed by my own), my advice is: BEFORE installing any new decompressed files adding new libraries to ST4, ALWAYS open the product manager AND most important, the ST4 software itself: you will notice that the implementation of new folders and authorizations is made in real time; probably those hidden cache files, which presence I noticed are active and will take into account the new configuration properly before being turned off.
I've even noticed that in this case ST4 often triggers a rescanning of everything by itself without me asking anything, which proves that it constantly refer to those "state" that may permit or forbid the access to the libraries. So keep the software open, make some rescanning when necessary, and turn it off when everything is finished.
Your software will this way remain more stable and will less be sensitive to conflicts when adding new libraries.
