Hi Bill, not sure where to post this, so I thought I might try this.

I'm having a problem installing libraries from the libraries manager.. This is a resent problem as I have loaded several libraries successfully in the resent past. I get the following error message in the IDE box ,

"

C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries\libraries

java.lang.RuntimeException: java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException: C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries\libraries

at cc.arduino.contributions.libraries.ui.LibraryManagerUI.lambda$onInstallPressed$4(LibraryManagerUI.java:250)

at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:748)

Caused by: java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException: C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\libraries\libraries

at sun.nio.fs.WindowsFileSystemProvider.createDirectory(WindowsFileSystemProvider.java:504)"

Do you have any idea what is causing this?

As @yurkshirelad said, check that link, and this looks productive

solved in configure java > network settings > changed from “Use browser settings” to “direct connection”

Here are the two (the 3rd is builtin) Library directories on a Mac, Windows is similar with only the names that are different for system stuff being different. In either case you do not manipulate either of these folder contents directly, only the IDE menu interface is used. I documented that earlier. The first taken at 15:03:25 is of the system maintained Arduino Library, the second taken at 15:04:08 is of the user maintained Arduino Library. This library is maintained via the IDE Manage Library menu item and the Include Library menu item for github zip

files.

@yurkshirelad  No, not really..I tried looking at the folder security and all the permissions were set as it always has..but thanks anyway for responding.. My system is an old windows 7 with PCMatic super shield security.

Details of the system are in the screen shot posted above, just right click, and choose open in new tab..

@inst-tech Sorry, none of that matters with regards to installing a library. It's all done from the IDE. See my long winded description posted earlier. You do not need permission, do not need to use the file manager, it's either all done in the IDE or github download a zip then arduino IDE. You are over thinking it

"PCMatic super shield security" - maybe that's part of your problem? Did you recently install it?

@yurkshirelad Has nothing to do with it, him and one other are trying to manually install instead of using the IDE. I am unsubscribing and if I can find it blocking these types of people. 

@ronalex4203 Thank you for your help.. I found the problem, and it's fixed..everything working as it should..

Thanks to all that contributed.. problem resolved!!  yea...lol

kind regards,
