"Access is denied" on Windows

[The Headless SourceMan]

I just did a fresh install of 2.14 on windows 11 x64

I try to run cppcheckgui.exe it takes a long time and then gives me the attached message box.

I try to run cppcheckgui.exe or even cppcheck.exe and it says only "Access is denied." That's it. It gives no information about what it is trying to access even.

I was taking a wild guess that it may have been trying to write to something in the program files directory (bad etiquette, but common), so I tried enabling write access to the cppcheck install directory and its children. Didn't help.

very strange. you say it even happens for cppcheck.exe?
spontanously I wonder if you have some company computer with limited permissions.
I am not a windows expert.
cppcheck does not try to write anything in the installation folder but it will try to read varios files in tje cfg subfolder for instance.
