Dev C++ 'Permission Denied' error on compilation

[cbderby]

''permission denied''
''id returned 1 exit status''

im compiling with dev c++ 4.9.9.2
im using windows vista, but i have compiled and ran other programs before.

pretty simple program, some parts in french, just wondering what i have to do fix it.
[code=c]
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <math.h>


int main()
{

int x= 0; // declaration des variables et leur donne une valeur de depart "0"
int bande1 = 0; // declaration des variables et leur donne une valeur de depart "0"
int bande2 = 0; // declaration des variables et leur donne une valeur de depart "0"
int bande3 = 0; // declaration des variables et leur donne une valeur de depart "0"
float vresistance = 0; // declaration des variables et leur donne une valeur de depart "0"
float vresistance2 = 0; // declaration des variables et leur donne une valeur de depart "0"


do{

printf("\n Voici le tableau des couleurs des bandes, chaque couleur est associe a un numero");
printf("Si tu veut quitter le programme tape (-1) pour la valeur de n'importe bande\n\n");
printf("0-Noir \n" "1-Brun \n" "2-Rouge \n" "3-Orange \n" "4-Jaune \n" "5-Vert \n" "6-Bleu \n" "7-Violet \n" "8-Gris \n" "9-Blanc \n\n\n");

printf("Quelle est la valeur de la premiere bande de couleur \n");
scanf("%d",& bande1);

while(bande1 > 9 && bande1 < -1){

if(bande1 == -1) {
system("PAUSE") ;
return(0); }

else {
printf("mauvais e entree , quelle est la valeur de la premiere bande de couleur \n");
scanf("%d",& bande1);}

}





printf("Quelle est la valeur de la deuxieme bande de couleur \n");
scanf("%d",&ban de2);

while(bande2 > 9 && bande2 < -1){

if(bande2 == -1) {
system("PAUSE") ;
return(0); }

else {
printf("mauvais e entree , quelle est la valeur de la deuxieme bande de couleur \n");
scanf("%d",& bande2);}
}


printf("Quelle est la valeur de la troisieme bande de couleur \n");
scanf("%d",&ban de3);

while(bande3 > 9 && bande3 < -1){

if(bande3 == -1) {
system("PAUSE") ;
return(0); }

else {
printf("mauvais e entree , quelle est la valeur de la troisieme bande de couleur \n");
scanf("%d",& bande3); }

}

vresistance = ((bande1*10)+(b ande2))* pow(10,bande3);

printf("%d",vre sistance);
if(vresistance >= 1000){
vresistance2 = vresistance /1000;
printf("la valeur de la resistance(kilo-ohms) est : %f \n", vresistance2);
}
else {
printf("la valeur de la resistance (ohms) est : %f \n", vresistance);
}
}while(x == 0);

What is your working directory?

What path is the target binary in?

The problem may issue from access control restrictions to Program Files directory, thanks to Vista...

Are you using a network drive for your project??

Visual Studio uses a keyboard response file to pass values to the compiler on a separate thread. Often, the sysadmins setup the network so that insufficient permissions exist for that thread to open the keyboard response file on the network drive.

C:\Dev-Cpp\Bin

C:\Dev-Cpp\lib

My guess is there's a bad pointer somewhere that you try and use. It's probably pointing to some garbage location in memory, which is protected by your computer.

[Ganon11]

Also, you assign 0 to x as you initialize it. It's also the controller for your do...while loop. When do you change x's value?

[cbderby]

I never change it, because i want the loop to repeat forever, the only way they can exit the program is by typing -1.

[ruskalym]

Open properties window of C:\Dev-Cpp\ and try to recursively remove read-only restrictions if it is defined for this folder.

Thx alot it works now :)

I found the error!
I found that if there is a file named 'exemplo.c' and an executable 'example.exe', if you delete the text file executable and leaves, when will compile 'exemplo.c' does not work, since there is already a exe in the same directory.

So when you delete delete both. COMPILE AGAIN

Why are you using system()!? It is evil! Read here for more information: http://www.cplusplus.com/articles/j3wTURfi/ Also, here is a substitute code snippet I oftentimes use instead:

int c; 
cout << "Press ENTER to continue.";
fflush (stdout);
do
{
     c = getchar();
} while ((c != '\n') && (c != EOF));

I'm no expert, but system() is a habit you will eventually break.

Thanks it works. But how? what happen when we unclick read only symbol. what the reason explain.
