Hello,

Even though SiteKiosk 9.7 is no longer in support, here is a hint:
The HTML folder under "C:\Program Files (x86)\SiteKiosk" has by default only read and execute permissions in the SiteKiosk user account (used in Auto Start mode).
So the message "Permission denied" is correct.

It is best to test it first in Start Once mode (it should work here).
For the Auto Start mode you would have to adjust the access rights for the HTML folder. For example, set it to Full Access (System Security Wizard>User Defined>Folder Access).
