[Bug] Build Error: Access is Denied. (os error 5) in cargo install --force cargo-make

[JRS296]

Bug Description

I am getting the following error on trying to build out the development environment on my local machine.

error: failed to run custom build command for 'windows_x86_64_msvc v0.42.2'

Caused by:
  could not execute process 'C:\Users\jonat\AppData\Local\Temp\cargo-installl2mN57\release\build\windows_x86_64_msvc-fbbcda8063109501\build-script-build' (never executed)

Caused by:
  Access is denied. (os error 5)
warning: build failed, waiting for other jobs to finish...
error: failed to compile `cargo-make v0.36.6`, intermediate artifacts can be found at `C:\Users\jonat\AppData\Local\Temp\cargo-installl2mN57`
PS D:\CompSci - Learn\Open Source Work\AppFlowy\AppFlowy>

I have followed the Build guide as specified in this doc: https://appflowy.gitbook.io/docs/essential-documentation/contribute-to-appflowy/software-contributions/environment-setup/building-on-windows

The bottleneck arrives on attempting command:
cargo install --force cargo-make

How to Reproduce

Follow Build steps from doc https://appflowy.gitbook.io/docs/essential-documentation/contribute-to-appflowy/software-contributions/environment-setup/building-on-windows

Expected Behavior

Completed Compilation for the given development environment.

Operating System

Windows

AppFlowy Version(s)

#2009

Screenshots

Additional Context

(Another small concern) Been receiving malware calls from Kaspersky during build process. Is this something to be concerned over?

What's your Rust version? You can try rustup show.

UPDATE: downgraded to rust version 1.65, still getting the same error.. Anything that can be done for the same?

Hi @JRS296, I believe your terminal does not has adminstrator privileges to execute files in your C drive, did you try launching your terminal as an administrator ?

Tried it with Admin priveleges, same result:

Successfully Built out the dev environment today, AntiVirus was interfering with the build

[vhanla]

Kaspersky is blocking it. Could you please update build-script-build executable core and test it against virustotal so it won't be marked as false positive by most reknown antimalware software?

It is crazy of different build-script-build.exe files generated, and all of them marked as malware. I have to disable malware protection, and on reenable, it forces me to restart in order to "disinfect". 😅

hii @JRS296 I have same problem, Plss help me tell how you can fix it?

[JRS296]

Hello @tao-a-man, just disable your antivirus (or add cargo to the list of exclusions), and enable firewall permissions for cargo. This should help.
