Error: 13 INTERNAL: Cannot install tool...

[juddidier]

Describe the problem

With certain antivirus installation of tools fails with the error e.g.:

Failed to install platform: esp32:esp32.
Error: 13 INTERNAL: Cannot install tool ... moving extracted archive to destination dir: rename xxxx\xtensa-esp32-elf yyyy\xtensa-esp32-elf-gcc\gcc8_4_0-esp-2021r2-patch3: Access is denied.

renaming a directory (in my case xtensa-esp32-elf) to a nested directory (xtensa-esp32-elf-gcc\gcc8_4_0-esp-2021r2-patch3) is blocked.

To reproduce

in my case I use mcAfee

Expected behavior

in the tool installation process manually create the parent directory (in my case xtensa-esp32-elf-gcc) and then move.

Arduino IDE version

2.0.0rc9.2

Operating system

Operating system version

Hi @juddidier. Thanks for taking the time to submit an issue.

I see we have another report about this at #1307.

It is best to have only a single issue per subject so we can consolidate all relevant discussion to one place, so I'll go ahead and close this in favor of the other.
