    right click the executable and click 'run as administrator'.

    if that fails change your read/write permissions for the dummy directory.

    I am having this problem and this response does not make sense. I made the "Preferences" ,"Adobe" & "After Effects" folder along with the 10.0,11.0,13.0,13.2 folders all read/write. Can't seem to find an answer.
