Description
**Describe the bug**
Users can run the program, change settings and go all the way until the last step (writing query or setting log file location), but unable to click excecute
**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Install dataloader (as admin) in a system catalog (like C:\Program Files\Salesforce)
2. log out, log back in as regular user without write access to C:\Program Files
3. run dataloader, try to export accounts
4. be unable to click finish (button greyed out)
**Expected behavior**
either:
a) be able to click finish (was possible with previous versions)
b) have a clear error message about missing permissions
**Screenshots**
**Desktop (please complete the following information):**
- OS: Windows 11 vm
- Version [e.g. 64.1.0]
**Additional context**
to be clear, we're not trying to export data and write csv into C:\Program Files . the issue is that dataloader is installed there, and we can;t use it even if we select any other folder as data source/destination. this is impacting corporate users who do not have access to system catalogs and don't install their own software
