Hello,

I was trying to add the HDF5.jl package on my computer. From the package manager I write `add HDF5` command and get the following screen containing the error message:

I am using a company computer but the IT department has told me I have full admin rights.

Have you tried staying Julia as an admin (right click - → start as administrator)? I don’t think I’ve seen this with Julia yet but had similar issues with conda before on corporate machines which were solved in this way.

Yes I have tried it now. I get the same error when I try to build the package even after running Julia as admin.

Try adding exclusions on the antivirus and firewall. Add all Julia folders (or executables), where the executable is and the one at the user space and the folder with Juno or VS Code.

You can also manually delete the zlib1.dll file. And of course running Julia with admin rights.

I cannot claim much expertise on this, but I can tell you that I have HDF5.jl installed on a Win10 non-admin account. So it (sometimes) works.

Looking at your post, I would guess that this is the key:

> ERROR: Can not delete output file : Access is denied. : C:\Users\adurmus.julia\packages\WinRPM\Y9QdZ\deps\usr\x86\_64-w64-mingw32\sys-root\mingw\bin\zlib1.dl

I agree with the previous suggestion of deleting this file manually and then redoing the installation.

Eventually manually deleting it solved the problem. Thanks a lot for your helps and responses.
