Android Question Unpacked Legacy Support Access Denied

[paddy12309]

Hi everyone,
I've come across an issue I am unable to resolve, when I try to compile my B4A app I get this:

Access to the path 'c:\program files\android\tools\..\extras\b4a_remote\androidx\legacy\legacy-support-v4\1.0.0\unpacked-legacy-support-v4-1.0.0' is denied.

I've gone through the file tree and given complete permission apps to use these files. yet am still getting the issue?

Any helps greatly appreciated!

Paddy

Carefully follow the installation instructions and everything will work: https://www.b4x.com/b4a.html

Start with a new Android SDK in c:\Android.

Followed through that and reinstalled all, still get the error unless running the program as admin

I guess you are doing something wrong then.

Can you provide a Anydesk-ID so i can connect to your pc and help you setup correctly.

I can help at 5:15 PM (German Time)

The error is clear. Android SDK shouldn't be inside Program Files. You haven't copied it to C:\Android as the instructions say.

thank you Erel and Don !

Rearranged the file tree as you said Erel and works again! Cheers
