[Android Software Development] claytonjn:
I'm trying to get APK Multi-Tool working on my newly built desktop. I used it many times on my laptop with no problems. I installed dependencies and set up folders. Just decompiling and immediately recompiling without making any changes is giving me an access denied error. Does anyone have any ideas what permissions I need to fix or what I need to do to get it working?

Here's the log output:

EDIT: Switching to the experimental release instead of the WIP-2.0 branch fixed everything.
