Solution 4

1. Navigate to %USERHOME% folder in a File Explorer and RIGHT click on .platformio folder -> Properties. If your account name contains NON-ASCII chars, the .platformio folder will be located in the ROOT of your system drive (for example, C:\.platformio):

2. Go to the “Security” tab and click on the “Advanced” option:

3. In the Advanced Security Settings window, check the option “Replace all child object permission entries with inheritable permission entries from this object“:

4. Now, click on “Apply” and “OK” to save your changes. Close the Explorer and restart your computer. Check if you can access the files on the external drive.

Hi i get this error when installing PlatformIO 

[ivankravets]

Do you use antivirus tools?

[wleagle]

I have exactly the same problem with configuration:
VSCode: 1.50.1
PIO IDE: v2.1.3
System: Windows_NT x64, 10.0.19041

[wleagle]

My problem solved. It is caused by a space in my username. Space is not allowed in the file path of python.

Just tried in a clean VM box and "Don Pedro" works as expected. Please destroy from your system insecure and danger software, such as dr.web, kasperskyi, avast, avg, mcafee, etc.
