V-ray 5 for Revit, Asset editor can't download materials. Missing permissions?

[JaniNaumis]

Hi everyone.
I installed the newest version of V-ray 5 for Revit (file name: vray_adv_51006_revit_win_x64), and when I opened up a new project and checked out the asset editor, I noticed that there are no default materials. The asset editor just gives me a message saying: The asset library could not be found or it cannot be created because of missing permissions.
What does this mean and how can I fix this?

I have attached an image of the Asset editor.


Any help is very much appreciated.

Hello,
I have a problem.
I bought a V-Ray for Revit, but I can't download assets after installation. (... something went wrong ...) I tried to modify config.json, but without success.
Is it not possible to download the assets package in any other way?
Thank you

Dear JaniNaumis, hello.

Please create a new folder in Documents named V-Ray Material Library and choose it in the Advanced mode of installation.
Here it is visually explained.

It will be helpful to confirm - have you installed another V-Ray 5 for Revit build before or not?

Hello to you too, michal_mrzek.
Please make sure that your antivirus software has an exception for Chaos Cosmos. Which was the new location that you have pointed out in the config file?
Its should be a local directory. For example:

[COLOR=#4e5f70]"working_dir":"C:\\Users\\[/COLOR][COLOR=#e74c3c][B]YOUR USERNAME[/B][/COLOR][COLOR=#4e5f70]\\Documents"[/COLOR]

Good day,
thank you for answer.
The problem will be that I have a corporate firewall installed on my PC.
I need to find a way which addresses need to be released for the upgrade assets to run properly.
Thanks
