@sout12 : make BotFarm.exe use Windows Administrator permissions via the Compatibility tab. I got a similar error message before I did that, because I use the C:\Program Files\TrinityCore\ folder:

Unhandled Exception: System.InvalidOperationException: There was an error generating the XML document. ---> System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array.
   at Microsoft.Xml.Serialization.GeneratedAssembly.XmlSerializationWriterList1.Write3_ArrayOfBotInfo(Object o)

   at BotFarm.Program.Main(String[] args) in C:\projects\botfarm\BotFarm\Program.cs:line 19

After setting BotFarm.exe to run as Administrator, the error disappeared.

Edit: I would also recommend using a shorter path with less spaces and punctuation in the folder names, because long paths can all too often make error troubleshooting more difficult.

If your problem was solved by using the suggested solution, please close this issue. :turtle:

Probably better to handle the exception if this issue happens to users, showing at least a short message like "Permission denied creating new files, try running it as Administrator"

Lol, don't close issues I reopened, I want to handle this exception.
