Hi @Sanaa Fallah

Usually, this kind of internal folders (C:\Program Files) are forbiden to write on it. 

If you are using this like a working path for your exercise I recommend you to move out of the C:\Program Files folder.



Hope this helps you

See you in the community, bye :)

Pretty much everything in Program Files and Program Files (x86) typically require elevated permission (Admin permission) to write to those folders. This was a change Microsoft added years ago to try and make it more difficult for spyware and trojans to replace program files. You see this any time you try to copy a file into the Blue Prism Automate folder and you get the UAC request.
