What is your repository URL?
Do you have local write access to the local directory?
It's my local system. The privileges are set to rwx
I meant more within the OS... TestComplete/Subversion needs to be able to create the folder/directory structure for the repository... it could be that you don't have access to do so.
On a Windows 10 system, how would I determine if I have the appropriate privilege?
TestComplete via SubVersion needs to be able to create the local directory... so, if the user that you're running TC can create the appropriate directory or run the necessary sub-version command lines, then you should be good. You can try running TC as an administrator and see if that works.
- Also note, that svn doesn't like spaces in directory names. This is why I have asked about URL. So if you have a path like "file:///C/My repository", upgrade it to "file:///C/My%20repository"
