Have you tried opening the program in administrative mode? – FoxMcloud5655 – 2017-01-13T14:41:42.480
@FoxMcloud5655 Yes I have. This is what happens. – Somenath Sinha – 2017-01-13T14:42:50.150
Hmm... Have you tried re-downloading the .application file and running that? – FoxMcloud5655 – 2017-01-13T18:20:05.313
@FoxMcloud5655 Yes I have. Same problem reappears. – Somenath Sinha – 2017-01-14T14:06:34.103
It might have something to do with the account you're registered under in GitHub, as the "Access Denied" is pointing to a web address, "http://github-windows.s3.amazonaws.com/GitHub.application".
