app.getPath("app","javascript"); : Acrobat will return the path of the "JavaScripts" app's folder, which is mandatory.

app.getPath("user","javascript"); : Acrobat will return the path of the "JavaScripts' user's folder, which is optional ( = "undefined" if it does not exist).

We can't help you solve permissions issues. You need to talk to the admin

of your computer.

Please advise me where to do changes for below one

I cannot since I'm a Mac user (paths are not the same)

You should say what is the version of your Windows and another expert could help you further.
