Do you have writing permission to the directory "C:/Users/vedul/Desktop/courses/hello_foundry/src"?

Maybe if you run VS Code in admin mode, it can work.

Or send us your foundry.toml so we can check.

The best practice is to run foundry project in ubuntu with wsl on your pc, you won't have this kind of error
