Hi,

I've the same problem here. When generating, I get

Failed to generate QR code to file "C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code\qrcode.gif" due to "EPERM: operation not permitted, open 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code\qrcode.gif'"

Installed Visual Studio Code
Version 1.15.0

I'm loged in into Windows sa a user (not an admin). The folder "C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code" existes, but is read-only due to my user rights.

Would it be better to write the gif to the system temp folder?

Kind regards!

@Romixery and @jmeier I had the same error, but it's easy to overcome. What's happening is you're trying to save the gif in a folder you don't have permission to save into. All you need to do is create a new folder in vs Code and work out of that, the gif will be saved into whatever folder you are working from at the time, so it will save into the new folder.

@PietBourke Thanks, that was the issue!
