Windows not writing files to folder?

New comment

When I start the build script, it does not write the CSV files to the folder (SEE 3rd Screenshot).The files are empty.

I'm sure this is a simple fix for some around here. This is an issue in this article that did not get resolved 2 years ago, please can somebody show me what to do?


Thank you!!
