[windows] File system "permission denied"

[DoLife]

I downloaded the new repo today, and when running a prompt i receive the following error. It worked fine last night on the old repo of the previous day. I have full administrative rights.

Traceback (most recent call last):

Same issue (not working as adming but still, permission denied in my own directory)

Closing this as it's related to your setup, not GPT Engineer!

FYI @patillacode

Well, tbh, if you have a normally functioning environment (dozens of successfully checked out and ran python projects), and you follow the instructions to the letter and get an error, perhaps at least the instructions need updating?

Opened again.

Would you be able to run the tests on your computer and see if they pass? And if they do, try to write a test that gives the same error? Thanks
