Works by running VSCode as admin. Permission issue as trying to write into 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code' folder

Hi @cshawbcn, Thanks for bringing this up. To change default directory using cmd "change directory" from command palette (ctrl+Shift+P). For example: changing directory to "C:\abc" would use runbooks in "C:\abc\vscodeAutomation.."

This should help by changing directory to a path where current user has permissions.
Will look into how we can make this more meaningful and clear error message.

Please reopen if issue persists.
