When i install arduino ide i get this type of error
Error opening file for writing:
c:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\tools\avr\bin\avrdude.exe
any fixes?
Looks like maybe you don't have permission to write to that directory. Are you installing with an unprivileged user account? Were you given the option to install for "everyone" or "just me"? The "just me" option might work, even for an unprivileged account.
save the install file somewhere then right click on the file and select run as administrator. this gives the program elevated rights for installation.
Follow the steps at https://support.arduino.cc/hc/en-us/articles/360019833020-How-to-install-the-Arduino-IDE to install it. You can try the portable version.
