ifi_loader problem: run-time error '70'

[Samuel H.]

Hello, I have been having a problem when attempting to select the .hex file to download in ifi_loader v.1.1.0. After I select ok, I get the following error:

Run-time error '70': Permission denied

I am downloading a file from the bottom of the directory tree, so the path is less than 20 characters long.

The memory gauge in MPLAB shows that the file takes up less than 1/4 of the program memeory.

I am using a non-administrator account (school computer). I will be trying with an admin account tomorrow. If it works, though, I would like to avoid having to use it anyway as it would involve having a mentor log in every time I wanted to download to the robot.

Do you have any ideas what is causing this error, or what could be done to fix it?

EDIT:
I have tested on an admin account, and it works. Is there a way to avoid having to use an admin account, though?

Thank you,
Samuel Harrington
