C# Webclient Error

When I try to run my program I keep getting an error saying that the webclient does not have permissions to the folder which I want to save the downloaded file. I have tried numerous folders, running the program as admin, and also running C# as admin, still the same error. Would I still get the error if I download the file through a Stream instead?

Here is my code:


Any help would be great, can't seem to find a fix to this.

client.DownloadFile(new Uri(dlurl), @"C:\");

This line has the issue, and I guess you are in vista or win7.

Change it to.


client.DownloadFile(new Uri(dlurl), @"C:\temp");

hmmm, I have seen to solve the problem with the error when I run it as admin, but now the file is not holding any data. This is what I changed it to:


And when I run it all I get is a CMD prompt which keeps popping up some weird errors.

Thanks for helping me with my main problem though!

Google around on the errors mate. Thats what all devs do. Cheers!

Try completely disabling UAC if you're on Vista or 7 and try again. Is this consistent on XP as well as 7?
