Hi All,

This week i was surprised with the following Error Message when Visual Studio Code, tried to update to the newest version.

So i've checked the Permissions

C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Programs

The User don't had "Change" Permissions on the Directory

I've pushed the Permissions to the Subdirectorys and Files below.

After that, the Upgrade or Installation of Visual Studio Code was flawless

Regards

Andres
