Level of issue

Does not cause crash, but is a major issue [severe:s2]

What happened?

When opening PlutoDesktop, Julia attempts to write to the depot's manifest_usage.toml and is denied write permission since the depot is installed into C:\Program Files.

This issue also appears to be related to #64.

Version
