Answer 1

You usually cannot create a file on Windows in C:\ without admin priviliges.

Try creating it in your user folder instead.

Answer 2

Write this to get admin access to write on C

<requestedExecutionLevel level="highestAvailable" uiAccess="false" />

to your app.manifest You can create this file if you are not able to see the app.manifest. If you want to know more about the app.manifest you can look here

//edited because he wanted to know how

1. Go to your project and click add
2. Select Visual C# Items
3. Select "Application Manifest File"
4. Call this app.manifest (I guess it is by default)
