uVision 5 error: CANNOT COPY FILE

[Andrea]

Hello, I've just received a new nRF51822 EVKIT and I'm trying to run the blinky project example. I have installed uVision 5.11.10, the Segger Drivers and the Nordic SDK. I have Windows 8.1 . Once I try to Open the blinky project (or any other project) I receive the message:

Error: Cannot Copy file C:/Program Files(x86)\ARM\PACK\NordicSemiconductor\nRF_Device Femily\11.1.1\Device\Source\system_nrF51.c to C:/Program Files(x86)\ARM\Device\Nordic\nrF51822\Board\pca10001\blinky_example\arm\RTE\Device\nRF51822_xxAA\system_nrF51.c Operation failed.

Is there any compatibility problem between uVision 5 and Windows 8? Is someone able to help? Thanks

Keil works better when it is installed not in the program files folder, but in the c:/Keil_v5 folder. (also ok is the c:/Keil folder)

Since you are running in program files, you need special windows permissions to edit files in there, which unless you run Keil as an administrator, it will not have.

To avoid the headaches, I recommend installing in the correct path.
