I have seen that a few times now, please avoid issue titles that read like click bait.
What is "this case"? Why "at least", what are the other cases then? If there are other cases, please open separate issues.

The editor opens just fine here.

Fritzing checks for the operating systems AppDataLocation (depends on OS and OS Version). There might be multiple locations. From the possibilities, Fritzing tries to choose the first writable location.

The above error message indicates that the location used for the icon was not writable.
Unfortunately, the error message does not give the full path, only a subfolder -> this is a bug.

Please check the AppDataLocations, if there are any files, and if they are writable (user permissions?)

APPNAME is Fritzing
APPDIR is the location of the Fritzing executable

macOS
AppDataLocation	"~/Library/Application Support/<APPNAME>", "/Library/Application Support/<APPNAME>". "<APPDIR>/../Resources"

Windows
"C:/Users/<USER>/AppData/Roaming/<APPNAME>", "C:/ProgramData/<APPNAME>", "<APPDIR>", "<APPDIR>/data", "<APPDIR>/data/<APPNAME>"

Linux
"~/.local/share/<APPNAME>", "/usr/local/share/<APPNAME>", "/usr/share/<APPNAME>"

Note on Windows (which you appear to be on) AppData is a hidden directory so you need to enable Show hidden directories by clicking on the Folder options tag and selecting views (circled in green here) then click "Show hidden files and folders" (I run with this always enabled) to show Appdata in Explorer.
