Hi,
I am trying to create my first vassal module using some of the online tutorials. I created a module and attached a board but when I try and specify game sides I am unable to save and I get the following error:
java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException: C:\Program Files\VASSAL-3.6.19\Arriba Espana!.vmod → C:\Program Files\VASSAL-3.6.19\Arriba Espana!.vmod.bak

Here is my OS/VASSAL info:
OS: Windows 11 Home
Memory: 16 GB
VASSAL: 3.6.19
Module: In development
I tried to do the instructions here:
Opening Error Log Directly From Chat
From Vassal 3.6.5 onwards, typing /errorlog open in the chat bar will tell your OS to open the Errorlog in a default viewer.
…from this webpage:
https://vassalengine.org/wiki/Error_Logs
…but it didnt seem to work…so unfortunately I have no error log to attach.
Can anyone tell me why I cannot save the module?
Thanks,
John
