Since updating my J-Link to v6.00f, I have noticed that every time I download to a device using J-Flash Lite, the Log window reports an error that "Could not save file [Sample_DebugFlash.jlink]. Access is denied". It continues on to download to the devices (Kinetis KL series), but then reports the programming failed (even though it appears to have successfully flashed the device, since it will then run normally).

Has anyone else noticed this ?

I've updated to J-Flash 6.00g and the error remains. It occurs with multiple targets (eg Kinetis Freedom devices as well as custom bare-metal boards) and . No one else has seen this, or has suggestions for a fix ?

I updated to the latest J-Flash 6.00h in the hope that it would resolve the issue, but it didn't.

I did however work out a fix.

Given it was reporting an "Access is denied" error, I tried running J-Flash as administrator. Sure enough, the error went away. I was also then able to run J-Flash as non-administrator and the error did not re-appear so it appears to be a permanent fix.

I also noticed that there is now a file called "Sample_DebugFlash.jlink" in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Segger\JLink_V600h directory, with a creation timestamp matching when I ran J-Flash as admin. I had searched for this file before and didn't find it. Why this file needed to be saved, and why it couldn't when run as non-admin, I cannot say.

Hopefully this will help anyone having this issue.
