Error 1801 (HRESULT -2147024891)

Hi,

I am getting this error whenever I try to check Windows Update on a non-domain target machine:

Error 1801: Failed to create remote working directory. Please check permissions on the target computer and verify your working directory path in Tools > Settings. HRESULT -2147024891: Access to the path “\xxC$Program FilesBatchPatch is denied.”

How do I fix this error?

Thanks,

Anindayu
