I have been trying to make a halo map for about 2 weeks, I've gotten Sapien in the bag, all I need to do is save it into a map. Now I am using windows 10 and the standard HEK (not plus) and the standard tutorial scenario. I go to CMD Prompt and do tool.exe build-cache-file levels\test\tutorial\tutorial, and it says Access is denied? What did I do wrong (sorry for my noobness :P) Can anyone help me??

Make sure you've copied CMD into your Halo CE directory, and then right-click cmd.exe and select run as administrator. It may help right-clicking tool.exe, and changing it's compatibility settings to always run as administrator.

It is important to do the same with Guerilla and Sapien, always run these tools as an administrator as well.


When programs try to make changes to files inside the Program Files folder, newer versions of Windows stop them for security and safety.

So I copied it and it was the same outcome, and instead of my user thing it showed C:\WINDOWS\system32>?

To clarify, you're also running as administrator?

Yeah I clicked run administrator and it was the same outcome when I had done the Tool.exe command
