Welcome to our community! 😃
Please don't post pictures of text, logs or code. They are difficult to read, impossible to search and replicate (if it's code), and some people may not be even able to see them 🙂

Search for _"windows cannot access the specified device path or file. you may not have appropriate permissions_" and you will find some instructions on how to resolve it. If it works, you will probably be able to run the bat file.
