Trying to download a profile, but i keep getting this error "Download Error - Please report the error on Telegram [Win 5] Access is denied": "Profile Name".

How do I fix this problem?

Hi,

The [WinError 5] Access is denied error happens because the app is trying to create folders or write files in a directory where Windows restricts write permissions (such as Program Files or root C:\).

Here are a few quick ways to resolve it:

  1. Change the Output Folder: In the app, click the SELECT button next to Output path and choose a user folder like Downloads, Documents, or Desktop.
  2. Run as Administrator: Right-click the application executable (.exe) and select "Run as administrator".
