Since it’s giving a permissions error, my guess would be that you need to run your command to update the global config as an administrator and you didn’t do so.

The global config file is stored within C:\Program Files. You need to have admin rights in order to update it. This file is supposed to change the config for all users, so ordinary users should not be able to change it for everyone else.
