I'm having trouble creating a project in STMCubeIDE 1.7.0. I'm trying to create the project in it's own directory, instead of the workspace directory. The process I am following is: (continued below)

[LThal.1]

- Create the directory for the project (C:\Project)

- Create a New STM32 project

- Select the processor and package

- Setup STM32 project > Enter project name, for location enter project directory, select language and project type STM32Cube

- Code Generator options: Copy only necessary library files

When I start the project generation I get a popup message "C:\: Access is denied".

Using the "Project > Generate Code" option gives me the same message.

If I follow the same procedure and use the default workspace directory the project gets created successfully. Any suggestions as to how I can fix this problem would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hello @Community member​ ,

Please can you try again inside another folder, not at the root of your Disk C.

For example in your "Documents" folder, the one in C:\Users\your_login\Documents.

It can be due to a problem of permissions.

Thanks Kevin,

I created a folder in the Documents folder and the project created successfully. What would I need to change in order to create the project in a new folder under C: ?

This is a question about windows, not the STM32MPU, and I'm not a windows expert, but if you are the admin of your computer, I think you just have to:

• Right click on your Project folder
• Click on "Properties"
• Go inside Security tab
• Then edit the permission for your user.

 

Hope it helps,

I created the project folder under a new folder called "Projects". I also changed the security settings. One or both of these seems to have done the trick. I'm not going to worry about which one for now. Thanks for your help.
