Chromium developers, This is just for your information. Today, I suffered from an "Access is denied" error while gclient updated itself on my Vista PC as noted in Table 1 because I installed my depot_tools into "c:\depot_tools".
c:\>gclient help WARNING: This script switches your depot_tools checkout to the new version. Checking out http://src.chromium.org/svn/trunk/tools/depot_tools Access is denied. 0 file(s) copied. Table 1. To investigate this problem, I noticed "c:\depot_tools\convert_depot_tools.bat" was trying to copy itself into "c:\", which is protected by system, and failed the copy with the above "Access is denied" error. To solve this problem, I manually deleted "c:\depot_tools" and renamed "c:\depot_tools.new" into "c:\depot_tools" because "c:\depot_tools\convert_depot_tools.bat" had already downloaded the new depot_tools into "c:\depot_tools.new". Even though I'm wondering how much this information helps you, I wish this help those who will suffer from this error.
