When loading powershell studio it displays the splash screen and then fails with the message "Access is denied" (see image). This was just installed and has never worked for me. I tried uninstalling / reinstalling it a few times.

Re: Powershell Studio Throws "Access Is Denied" on startup
Looks like the application cannot open its own process.
What .NET framework is installed?
Do other .NET applications work? (If you don't know, install a PowerShell HelpWriter trial)
Last but not least, are you running as a restricted user? Did you try run as admin?

Re: Powershell Studio Throws "Access Is Denied" on startup
Thanks for the response.
.NET 4.7.0.2558
Yes other .NET applications work
Yes running as a restricted user but I thought this might be the problem as well and run it elevated with admin and as admin and both still give the same error.
I should also note I had my machine rebuilt as well.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Re: Powershell Studio Throws "Access Is Denied" on startup
In the next service release, we added safety checks to catch any access denied exceptions. Hopefully it will help, but PowerShell Studio requires the necessary permissions to access its own process or child processes in order to function correctly.

Re: Powershell Studio Throws "Access Is Denied" on startup
When running as administrator and separately in the administrators group I got the same errors. Do you know what elevated rights it's looking for? This is a corporate installation and cannot be given admin rights permanently.
Thanks
Thanks

Please try the latest service release (v5.5.155) and let us know if you are still getting the popups.

Unfortunately I am unable to use a different version as I have to use the pre-approved and packaged version of the application.
