Failed to open file for writing

For Clarity to operate correctly, the logged-in Windows User must have Read and Write access privileges to the entire Clarity folder. Without these permissions, Clarity cannot be started.

â–ŚReason: You probably have insufficient access rights to the C:\Clarity directory.

Note that this solution requires a user with administrator rights.

  • Right-click on the C:\Clarity directory and choose Properties.
  • In the Clarity Properties on the Security tab, locate the User/Group of Users and click Edit.
  • Provide the administrator password when prompted.
  • In the next dialog, grant the User/Group of User the necessary permissions by checking the Allow option for: Read & Write, List folder contents, and Read.

In case insufficient privileges are applied only to a part of the Clarity folder, Clarity still may not work properly, causing similar error messages to pop up.
