Probably, it's where you put the file.
Chances are you have put it in the application folder, which means it isn't normally writable.

Have a look here: Where should I store my data?[^] - it suggests some more suitable locations.

If you are installing to "Program Files" and you are not an administrator then that folder and anything under it will be read-only.

Install to another folder i.e. c:\appname
