Addressing Windows EPERM Error: Operation Not Permitted
The EPERM error arises in Windows when a Node.js application attempts to perform an operation that is not permitted, such as overwriting files that are in use or modifying files requiring elevated permissions.
A common scenario is running a script that modifies files in C:/Program Files without administrative privileges.
To resolve this error, first, check if the file is locked or in use.
Use Task Manager to identify and close conflicting processes.
If permissions are the issue, run your Node.js script as an administrator.
Additionally, avoid unnecessary administrative rights by using a directory where the user has full access, such as the user’s home directory.
For automation or deployment scripts, consider adjusting group policy settings cautiously or using a dedicated service account with the necessary permissions.
