The following error appears when I try to archive a project in CS 3.5.21.5 - I’ve tried it on two computers/ installations and several projects now and the same error appears.

OS: Windows 10 x64.

I’ve tried to remove the “Read-only” attribute on the “Common” folder, but it seems to be re-enabled by the software. Any solutions on this?

Solution: Start CS 3.5.21.5 with Administrator Privileges
