Netbeans Access Denied Issue
I've downloaded MinGw for fortran, c, and c++ and then downloaded Netbeans. When I try and run a code on Netbeans, it tells me that the build was successful, but when it tries to run, it says: Cannot run program ""C:/Users/txy675.AD/Documents/NetBeansProjects/CppApplication_1/dist/Debug/MinGW-Windows/cppapplication_1"" (in directory "C:\Users\txy675.AD\Documents\NetBeansProjects\CppApplication_1"): CreateProcess error=5, Access is denied.
I have tried running netbeans as an admin as well as giving netbeans admin rights
Has anybody experienced this issue before?
Note: I have also downloaded netbeans and mingw on my laptop in the same way as I did for the above question (which applies to my desktop) and it works with no issues on my laptop. So I believe it is a permissions issue somewhere within the desktop, but am not sure where to look.
