Elevated Permission Error on Windows

[acumind]

I just created a virtual environment and install the adk. While running the sample agent code always gives the following error:

"OSError: [WinError 1314] A required privilege is not held by the client:....."

This error is for not having elevated permissions on windows but i am wondering why the simple program need such permission.

@acumind probably some permissions issue to network or something similar. Try creating new venv and running it again, it shall work.

.venv\Lib\site-packages\google\adk\cli\utils\logs.py
Annotation 67-70 can avoid the error

if os.path.islink(latest_log_link):

os.unlink(latest_log_link)

os.symlink(log_filepath, latest_log_link)

or start cmd with administrate

@acumind , yeah it doesn't really make sense.

Although I could have had done more investigation, I did not, thinking I was only running a demo from quickstart.

Anyways, try following which should prevent the agent to log the logs into temporary log location.
Go to \{your_env_path}\Lib\site-packages\google\adk\cli\cli_tools_click.py, scroll down to and comment the line 73 that says logs.log_to_tmp_folder() under cli_run() function. Run your agent again.

I encountered the same issue on a Windows workstation. Commenting out that line in the site-packages allowed "adk run" to work, but I believe this warrants further review by the dev team, so I'm adding this comment.

The issue persists. The steps provided by @nikilpatel94 are a workaround, not a solution

Since I can't reopen the issue, I created a new one and will try submit a PR #1785
