The "permission denied" problem often comes down to a few things.

SIMPLE TROUBLESHOOTING.
These steps may save you some unnecessary time and effort in the forum.

  • Ensure you turn off any additional security / antivirus just to test.
  • Where possible use USB 2.0 ports or a USB 2.0 POWERED HUB.
  • Try other computers where possible.
  • Try other USB leads where possible.
  • Avoid cloud / network based installations where possible OR Ensure your Network / Cloud based software is RUNNING.

Hi,

you could also set up the .exe to always 'Run as Administrator' and that may help.

On my PC I have a separate SSD partitioned for programs, data, 'My Documents', temp files, etc, to keep everything I can off the C: drive SSD.

I find Windows runs a lot better that way and if (when!) Win 10 crashes I can wipe that drive, reload, and I've not lost anything.

It also helps to get away from the daft Win 10 security that blocks too much.

Regards
Peter
