Hi,

This issue sounds like a permission issue to me. May I ask you if you have started the Instrumentation Wizard with administrator privileges? And have you checked if the path "C:\Users\taurus\AppData\Local\apktool\framework" is available and accessible on your machine?

Hi,

Thanks for your suggestion,asdf.And we have found the problem is that our apk includs some files with Chinese character name.

The apk was zipped with UTF-8,if we change to gbk or name files with Engish char,there will be no error.

Hope this could help others.
