Installation of podman fails with access deniedon Windows
Hi, for your info, and for the record: having installed podman-desktop 0.9.1 on a Windows 10 machine, I couldn't initialize it, due to the error message mkdir C:\Users\jwi\.local\share\containers\podman: Access is denied. Workaround has been as follows: 1.) Execute the command podman machine init as a non-privileged user (myself) failed with the same error. 2.) Execute the command mkdir C:\Users\jwi\.local\share\containers\podman as a privileged user (Administrazor) worked. 3.) Repeating the "podman machine init" command as an unprivileged user works now, and Podman can be started. What's suprising for me: I would have expected, that I should be able to create a directory, that is located within my own home directory? Jochen -- Philosophy is useless, theology is worse.

Have you previously run podman init as administrator first time before trying to run it as normal user? It seems a directory permissions error to me. Maybe caused by the dirs first having been created by Aministrator.

You might be able to fix this by resetting podman or just removing those directories with error and run podman init again.
