Why does repair python return "Can't write to file" even though i have access to the specified directory?

Question

Something python-related wasn't working properly (sadly don't remember what), so I ran the "Repair python" tool, but about halfway it returned:

"Error writing to file:"
   C:\Users\nicke\AppData\local\programs\Python\38-32\python38.dll

Verify that you have access to that directory"

I can manually navigate (EDIT: and add new files) to that directory, which i assume means that I do have access.

"Prøv på nytt" means retry, and "avbryt" means cancel.
