Closed

Description

Issue Type: Bug

When checking for updates, receive prompt saying the following:

"C:\Users\myusername\AppData\Local\Programs\Microsoft VS Code_\chrome_100_percent.pak
An error occurred while trying to create a file in the destination directory: Access is denied"

Available options are:

  • Try again
  • Skip this file
  • Cancel installation.

First two options immediately bring prompt the error again, cancel installation suppresses it until auto-update re-attempts the installation.

Error occurs when running as administrator as well.
