 Visual Studio 2017 + Access is denied + Exited with code 5. Please verify that you have sufficient rights to run this command + nuget.exe + Cygwin + Windows 10 + chmod +x


Error Message: Exited with code 5. Please verify that you have sufficient rights to run this command
Error Message: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): Access is denied

Resolved My Issue:

  1. Opened Cygwin
  2. Input: chmod +x /cygdrive/c/source/{Solution File Name}/.nuget/NuGet.exe  --Basically point this to where ever NuGet.exe is located
  3. Do rebuild or build on Visual Studio, error shall go away slowly


 
Description:

chmod +x on a file (your script) only means, that you'll make it executable. Right click on your script and chose Properties -> Permissions -> Allow executing file as program, leaves you with the exact same result as the command in terminal.

If a file you want to change permissions on is located within the systems directory you may need to be root, like so: (be careful, while using sudo command)

sudo chmod +x /usr/share/testfolder/aFile

Type man chmod in a terminal window (Ctrl+Alt+T) and you'll get the following output:

NAME: chmod - change file mode bits
SYNOPSIS
chmod [OPTION]... MODE[,MODE]... FILE...
chmod [OPTION]... OCTAL-MODE FILE...
chmod [OPTION]... --reference=RFILE FILE...
