The problem I am seeing is essentially: mkdir titanic.biz
.biz is a ransomware extension Symantec will block it.
My system has Symantec Enpoint Protection, and my employer won't let me switch it off.
.biz is a bad choice for a testdata folder name suffix.

Probably the same issue described in #36568 and partially fixed in 1.14.2.

Update: I was able to convince SysAdmin to suspend my Symantec Endpoint Protection for an hour. I could do "Go: Install/Update Tools" in VS Code and get all tools installed flawlessly at the first try.

The single problem was the .biz foldername extension. I thought it useful for the community to understand this 'edge' problem.

@bcmills @jayconrod is this a dupe of #36568? This is an error on directory creation rather than rename.

No, it doesn't look like a duplicate of #36568. In the error log here's it's failing while extracting the x/tools module zip, not when renaming the directory.

@BertHooyman So it sounds like your organization has a policy against creating files that end with .biz? I'm not sure how we can anticipate that kind of thing.

These files are years old and we've never had a problem before AFAIK. I can review a change to rename them but I don't think I'm going to do it myself.

@jayconrod I'm not sure whether my company has 'special' rules or these rules come with Symantec Endpoint Protection. It's an edge condition for sure. Either way, having the scenario mentioned here might be sufficient for others experiencing the exact same error message "Access is denied" on a mkdir. It took me quite a while to weed through all the seemingly related mentions (not just in x/tools), so having it here might help people. I understand if the issue is not 'resolved'.

It doesn't seem plausible for us to work around every IT department's arbitrary restrictions on filenames.

I agree with @heschik: we can review a change to work around this restriction, but we shouldn't do it proactively. I would add to that that the commit message should include a reference to some specific documentation about why (and, ideally, under what conditions) those names are disallowed.

@bcmills thats perfectly understandable. I would suggest to make the root cause discoverable by those who suffer from it. So that users understand that when a mkdir leads to an Access Denied (on Windows), they understand it's not Go Tools' fault, but their endpoint protection.
