try to fix PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied about cascadeur_bridge

[arcsikex]

Thank you for the report and the possible solution. Can you maybe share what were the original permissions set for the Cascadeur folder?

Ok, I think I understand where can be an issue, these are my permissions for a default install Cascadeur folder ... I'm not very good with Windows management issues, any idea?

\AppData\Local>icacls Cascadeur
Cascadeur NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(I)(OI)(CI)(F)
          BUILTIN\Administrators:(I)(OI)(CI)(F)
          DESKTOP-L6HH19G\catafest:(I)(OI)(CI)(F)

Thank you for your help ... a good idea to have this addon.

I try to fix permissions for both Cascadeur and Blender 3D with this command and not work and I try both normal user and admin ... from the command prompt.
icacls "C:\path\to\Cascadeur" /grant MYUSER:(OI)(CI)F
Maybe the Blender cannot run this:
hp, ht, pid, tid = _winapi.CreateProcess(executable, args, PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied

I need to open an issue on the Blender 3D software but I'm not the owner of this project.
The Blender team found a similar issue on this.

Also, I cannot close this issue with this comment ...

@catafest sorry I am also not familiar with permissions management.
Although I noticed that I also get PermissionError WinError 5 if the cascader.exe path is incorrect. So unfortunately based on the error it's not clear if it's actually a PermissionError or user error. And I'm also not very confident messing with user permission with the addon 😄
I will close the issue, I hope you can find a solution
