I followed the help subjects on this issue but still get an error.

CRJolin,

The error is: Access to the
path 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Digital Building Solutions\BIMHighway
Beta\Assembly\Tasks' is denied. --->

The general reason for this is, you installed the software as one user, and run it as another user. (It happens E.g. if you've installed BIMHighway as Administrator and you're not running it as the Administrator user.)

The easiest fix here is to give all users full permissions to the BIMHighway folders, because we are creating files, folders etc to serialize BIMHighway.

Please check the following:
Goto the 'Digital Building Solutions' folder and set the permissions on it:
Generally - Right-click on the Digital Building Solutions folder name in Explorer and select [Properties]
In the Properties dialog, select the [Security] tab
Below the [Group or user names] section, select [Edit...]
In the [Group or user names] section, select 'Users '
In the 'Permissions for Users' box, select [x] Full Control in the [Allow] column
Click [Apply]
Click [OK]
Click [OK]

Try again.

You can do a simple test in that folder to see if you do have full permissions... try to create a file in that folder, if you can, it worked, if you can't, changing permissions failed, you might have to try setting permissions again.

BTW - BIMHighway is not yet fully compatible with 64-bit Revit. For example, 'Process Content' will not function. 32-Bit Revit on Vista 64 is fine however.
