PermissionError on Windows #34

Closed sla-te closed 3 years ago

sla-te commented 3 years ago

How could I elevate to get permission to edit the host file. Running the Script as described drops me Errno 13, Permission Denied. Ive even already tried using this: https://pypi.org/project/pyuac/, which works for any file located on the root drive but not inside the Windows\System32 folder.

Err, yeah nvm xDD Should add the hosts file to the end of this path so it can work lol
