PC Terraria Launching Crash

Error Message when my friend is trying to launch Terraria 1.3.0.8 for the first time:

That generally means it can't write to config.json (the preferences file). Make sure that the %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Terraria folder exists, that files there can be read and written, and if config.json exists, make sure it's not set to read only.
