I’m attempting to test my arduino Rich UNO R3 board but every time I try to install the missing arduino dependencies (Arduino AVR boards) I get this error message Installing Arduino dependencies… Downloading arduino:avr-gcc@7.3.0-atmel3.6.1-arduino7… arduino:avr-gcc@7.3.0-atmel3.6.1-arduino7 downloaded Downloading arduino:avrdude@6.3.0-arduino17… arduino:avrdude@6.3.0-arduino17 downloaded Downloading arduino:arduinoOTA@1.3.0… arduino:arduinoOTA@1.3.0 downloaded Downloading arduino:avr@1.8.3… arduino:avr@1.8.3 downloaded Installing arduino:avr-gcc@7.3.0-atmel3.6.1-arduino7… Error: moving extracted archive to destination dir: rename C:\Users\billb\xod\ __packages_\_\tmp\package-454502123\avr C:\Users\billb\xod\__ packages_\_\packages\arduino\tools\avr-gcc\7.3.0-atmel3.6.1-arduino7: Access is denied. Cannot install tool: arduino:avr-gcc@7.3.0-atmel3.6.1-arduino7 reading other threads I’ve tried to fix the problem and have reinstalled XOD as well as deleting the contents of the folder shown below. any suggestions or help greatly appreciated ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/xod/original/2X/0/0d061ae715f7576707cc5f20f37b831c9c919cfa.png) ---

managed to get it to work by moving the xod folder from user -\> desktop-\> user (original position) . this seemed to reset something and it worked the next time! ---
