Insufficient rights - how to check what rights a command expects ?

Question

I am a .net newbie. I was trying to build this particular CLR project - http://github.com/richhickey/clojure-clr. I received the following error.

C:\sriram\work\clojure\clojure-clr\Clojure\Clojure.Compile\bin\Debug\Clojure.Compile.exe clojure.core clojure.set clojure.zip clojure.main clojure.walk clojure.stacktrace clojure.template clojure.test clojure.test.tap clojure.test.junit Access is denied.

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\Microsoft.Common.targets(3397,13): error MSB3075: The command "C:\sriram\work\clojure\clojure-clr\Clojure\Clojure.Compile\bin\Debug\Clojure.Compile.exe clojure.core clojure.set clojure.zip clojure.main clojure.walk clojure.stacktrace clojure.template clojure.test clojure.test.tap clojure.test.junit" exited with code 5. Please verify that you have sufficient rights to run this command.

Done building project "Clojure.Compile.csproj" -- FAILED.

It says 'Please verify that you have sufficient rights to run this command'. How to check what rights are begin expected ?

Note that some commands may work or not depending on the arguments of the command. Even simple copy may work if you have write privilege to the target folder and fail when you don't have the privilege to write.

On win 7 and Vista machines problem is that you need to run Visual Studio with elevated privileges even if you are admin on the machine.
To do that right click on Visual Studio in the start menu and choose "Run as administrator".
