First up, I’ll admit I’m a total noob at this. I’m just trying to learn, but it gets hard when I hit this kind of problem. Google hasn’t provided any answers so I thought I’d ask here.

I built my program and it was completely successful, no errors or warnings. When I do dotnet run, I get this in red:

**
Unhandled exception: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (5): An error occurred trying to start process (path to the .exe) with working directory (path to the project root). Access is denied.
**

I restarted command prompt as Administrator but the problem persists. I checked permissions for the directory and it has SYSTEM, myself, and Administrators group, all with full control.

So at this point I’m stuck. What have I done wrong?
