After Effects warning: The directory C:\Users\...could not be created. Please check the parent directory protection or permission rights."

After Effects warning: The directory C:\Users\...could not be created.  Please check the parent directory protection or permission rights."  Other programs have loaded and work properly.  Any ideas or fixes?

Run as Administrator http://forums.adobe.com/thread/969395 to assign FULL permissions... says Encore, but sometimes required for ALL Adobe programs (this is NOT the same as using an Administrator account)

[margueritew46131361]

Sadly this was not the answer.  I can't seem to get the program to form the proper pathway.  After the above error message the next screen I get is "After Effects can't continue:  The Common Extensibility Platform (CEP) suite couldn't be loaded.  You many need to reinstall."  I have done this several times with no luck.  I really wish error messages would come with a "How to fix error" link!  lol  Most of us have no idea what these messages mean!!

I need this program to fix "spillover" from a green screen.  Do you know of another way to do this?  If so I just won't use this program....

Having the same "The Common Extensibility Platform (CEP) suite couldn't be loaded." message comes up after updating to CC2015 13.72. Using a mac here. Was there any fix for this?

After Effects warning: The directory '/Users/delip/Library/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/15.1/OriginalUserWorkspaces' could not be created. Please check the parent directory protection or permission rights.

PLEASE tell me what i do

[patrickg10330935]

Navigate in FINDER to the folder it is trying to create. delete folder "16.1". Create a new folder called, "16.1". Open that folder and create a folder inside it called, "OriginalUserWorkspaces". Try and reopen AfterEffects, and it should now have all the permissions it needs to complete the process.

Patrickg10330935's solution doesn't work

[Govardhan.V]

Try providing Full permission to Adobe folder. Make sure that the current logged in user account is listed and has read and write acces.

Also after changing the permission , make sure to select the option " Apply to enclosed items"

Location :

~/Library/Application Support/Adobe.

Note:

Let me know , if you are using Windows machine .

I am having this same probelm i am just trying to export my work. Im using a pc operating in windows 10, using after effects 2019

Hi, I think I'm having the same problem.

Whenever I try to open the app it says "after effects warning: the directory 'E:' could not be created. please check the parent directory protection or permission rights.

The most absurd thing is that I don't get why or where After Effects would even try to create a folder called as my HDD (I have it installed on my SSD) 

Tried to run as an administrator several time and gave permission to a bunch of folders but it still won't work.
