I got “the project couldn't be opened:access to the path is denied”

Question

I got this message"The project 'C:\Users\abrar\Documents\Uipath\BlankProcess2\project.json' could not be opened: Access to the path 'C:\Users\abrar.nuget\packages\uipath\10.0.7004.31775\build\UiPath\aahook.dll' is denied" when I open a new project on UIPATH, I have tried to change the permission but it didn't work

Answer 1

I think this might be a nuget caching issue.

What you can try is running Studio with elevated permissions first (Run as Administrator) to see if the issue persists - if not, close it and run it again, this time not in elevated mode.

If that does not work, just remove UiPath's packages entirely (C:\Users\abrar\.nuget\packages\uipath in your case), then run Studio again. Open your project, and UiPath will automatically restore all missing packages (you will need to be connected to the internet though).
